my front rims are NASTY. ive tried scrubing with a wash mit and soap. I even tried some hot rims cleaner. I think that its embeded brake dust. could i use something like soft scrub (liquid with a mild abrasive) to scrub them? These are a set of stock pony five stars.

Sounds like you've got chrome rims and the plating is wearing off -- exposing the copper plate below it.
