I've used full strength APC on my wheels with no issue before. However I usually keep up on sealing my wheels and they aren't too old.
APC is great to use if you haven't kicked up too much brake dust or there has been minimal time between washes. If its been 11 years, I would definitely be looking to use deep wheel cleaner. DWC is amazing as well! Just like Ricky Bobby said, having your wheel tools soaked in some water with Car Shampoo is a must!
