I just wash mine with regular old carwash soap. STAY AWAY FROM THE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.

I just use soap. But my wheels are already pitted after having them for only 8 months.

I find the best way to clean them is to make the wife git out and do it....

hey now! be nice. I help my wife clean them. I do the front side of the wheels and make her do the back side. 50-50 in our relationship. and while she is there, I have her do the shocks,ft linkage, and control arms also.
