WD40 didn't make a dent
I have not tried Lemon Juice yet

I think I need something stronger

Oven cleaners might work, but remember they are very alkaline and could strip paint as well as the muck. The best wheel cleaner is hydrochloric acid (mixed with detergent) but not easy to get hold of. Sulphuric acid (eg. from an old battery) diluted in warm water might be effective. Wear goggles /gloves.

Keith a very MILD mix of costic soda. Do not breath in the fumes do it in the open air. Do ware gloves and do not leave it on long. I had some acid like substance I used on my MGC wire wheels bot its gone off I've just been checking it. You may be able to get some it's like wonder wheels but stronger, professional valeters use it. John
