Oh god no, don't use a Scotch Brite anything on any painted surface on your car. We see so many people bring their cars down to Meguiar's garage asking how to fix the damage from those things.
The best thing to use is a wheel cleaner that is safe for your wheel type (Meguiar's makes them specifically for Aluminum, Chrome and All; ie factory wheels) and either a brush specifically designed for wheel cleaning or a clean wash mitt, preferably either microfiber or lambswool. I use those on a regular basis, and a wheel brush only if the brake dust build up is severe or when I pull the wheels to completely clean the insides.
Never use anything to scrub your paint, whether it's a painted body panel or a painted wheel.
