Welcome to the site and congrats on your F!

To get behind the spokes I usually take a damp microfiber and carefully use my hand to reach back there then after I do all four, I roll the car back or forwards to get the spokes I couldn't get due to the brake calipers.

Heres a thread that might help with F wheel cleaning

I just use diluted Simple Green, a wheel brush and a spray hose. Once in while, the wheels just need to be taken off, cleaned by hand and waxed with a good high temperature synthetic like Rejex.

I use the EZ Detail Brush on my details of all Lexus cars.

Very easy to use, flexible, and able to get into the tightest spaces.
