I've used a high power washer (3500psi...or so it claims) without problem.
But once I discovered Maguire's wire wheel spray, I've been using that with
a little spray from my water hose.  The concern expressed about water
getting past the spoke holes into the hub wouldn't bother me much.  On the
other hand, water getting past the spoke holes into the tire could be a
catastrophe for tubeless tires.   Those spoke ends have a "dab" of silicone
applied to prevent air leaks.  With enough high pressure, the silicone
might become compromised.   If you are running innertubes, then water
leaking past the chrome spokes might be tolerable, but I wouldn't recommend
it.   Give the chrome wire wheel cleanser a try.  Best wishes.
