I have a set of ssr 17" rims on my car and i love them but they were winter driven last winter unfortunatly and are REALLY dirty looking no matter what i do. Just wondering if anyone has some good tips on how to make them shine again
These are my rims

its kind of hard to tell in the pic how bad they are so you will just have to take my word on it lol

i would use an aluminum polish on the lip and a good car wash soap and degreaser and a terry cloth towel to get th grime off.

They are probably clearcoated, so aluminum polish won't do much.

Best thing to do is to get a wheel cleaner called P21S wheel Gel, you have to get it online, but it kicks MUCH ass!

*** be careful with the degreaser --> if you're rims aren't cleared, it'll fog up the shine on the aluminum BAD
