Why do my wheel rims get this black?
Keep them clean, at least twice a month, inside as well as outside, use a bent brush to reach the internal areas. Wax them once a quarter. Mine have 5 years, 80000 km and look quite brand new. I never used any rim cleaning agent.
Stooooooooooooooopppppppppppp! THIS IS SPAM
Elbow grease is cheaper and far more efficient than any shitty water.

You'd be surprised how well a Mr Clean Magic Eraser works...

[...]Possibly, but when the rims are maintained on a regular basis, no need for aggressive agents. Plain water and soap are enough.
See you
You apparently don't know what I'm talking about. There is no agressive agent involved. Just water. Couldn't be anymore passive than that.
Since their disclaimer reads "Not recommended for the following surfaces: high gloss, polished, dark, brushed, satin, faux, bare/polished wood, or stainless steel", are you certain it's safe for rims?

Magic Eraser contains a fine abrasive scrubbing compound, much like Soft Scrub and Bon Ami, as well as a bleaching agent. They may be comparatively mild, but they're still "aggressive agents."
Many pool players use it to clean their shafts, and its abrasive qualities are very evident on wood.

Other than the fact that my wheels are neither wood nor stainless steel, yes.
Just don't use the ones that have the scratch pad on one side.
