I bought a motorcycle/ATV jack from Sears for less than a hundred bucks. It is very sturdy and made of steel, they sell an aluminum one for almost $300.

When I clean my wheels I lift the bike to the highest position, which is about 16'' off the ground, I grab a rag and chrome polish, a bucket and brush and soap, and a lawn chair and a beer.

With the bike lifted you can sit in the chair and spin the wheels and get the nasty gunk with the brush and soap, then hit it with the rag and cleaner. This way you're saving your backside, not showing it to the neighbors. After buying the jack I'll never do it any other way. That thing is definately worth it.
