Use the Sonus stuff...its pH balanced and safe for all wheels. Only 8 bucks a bottle too.

And oh yes, as acura_service said, put some kind of wax or polish over them when you're finished.

acura_service is correct. Soap and water will do the job. If you zaino them you won't have to wash as much beause the dirt just wipes off. So in between washes you just wipe off the rims an the car looks a bit better

I used rim cleaner before and realized that i was just wasting money. Soap and water and then Zaino.

and get your brake pads replaced if you still have the old ones. since getting them replaced, my front rims haven't been as dirty as before after a couple days.
