Aftermarket Wheel Detail.

[Teg-Potential]

These wheels are about 2years old prob and have seen it all; rain, snow, salt, mud.... brake dust


I'd like to know what sort of polish to use, like would the mothers powerball be ok for it? also any secrets or tips on how to make them sparkle again. (granted these arn't even washed, but the heavy water spots and white spots on the black spokes... thanks

They are msr 17's black with a chrome lip. hers below pics.

hey man i make my own metal polish and i bet itd help them out alot...

and ive never had luck with a power ball...are the lips chrome or polished alluminum?

[Teg-Potential]

i was told chrome when i bought them, but i did buy them from dobbs, so they prob booseled me.

these are them, http://www.msrwheels.com/auto_car_wheels.cfm?id=282#

And metal polish u make urself meaning u want to give me some to test out? or selling it ?

[CmeltoN]

well the main reason i ask is because if its chrome they more than likely have some sort of clear coat on them and polishing wont help...and i could probly give ya a little bottle of it to try out...i need to make some more actually

The whole wheel is cleared, including the machined lip, so metal polish would not be recommended.

You really had to post a thread, coulda just called! lol

Clean thouroghly with soap and water, maybe a bug sponge if needed. Then use a paint polish, then wax. Should look like new.

i kinda figured as much but wasnt sure...i usually strip the clear off of lips and polish them with an edge pad...looks soo much better
