Default Wheel brush - anyone know where to find a longer handled wheel brush to get inside base of alloys

when cleaning - the regular brushes have short handles and it is difficult to scrub entire inside of wheel

nope, I do it too, but only if I'm at my brother's garage with the lift.

Once a month :-) (Someone asked me at a car show how I got the insides so clean.)

Default Pep Boys and Wal Mart have a Viking brand I use with a larger brush for the outside.

The smaller Viking model has a blue handle and is a grey bristled unit about 6" for the bristles/4 inches of handle. It works great and does reach the inner confines of the wheel. Granted you get your hand and fingers in the spokes a bit to reach but it was the best I found for my 6 spokes and my new Fikses. No need to remove the wheels.

Default Right...

I use the same one. I would like a longer handle/bruse but that would probably hinder the side motion and getting behind the spokes. Works great.

Default I do too but my hand fits between the spokes and I can

wash and wax the inside of the wheels. I use Meguiar's paste car wax only on the wheels. To get behind the brakes I roll the car back 1 ft.
