A strong brush could wear off the plating for sure, or scuff the wheel to cause more dirt to collect as you point out. Somewhere on the internet, there was a wheel brush station made for G scale locos, including electrical contacts.

Looks good Nico. Like a super version of the old Hornby wheel cleaning brush.
