Get some 19s and hang your stock wheel on da wall. j/k...

I got scratch on my stock rim everywhere. Just so that I have a reason to get new rims, and use the stock wheel for winter.

Soap and water seems to work best. Mothers polish works if you have some blemishes. Make sure you dry the wheels after you wash, water spots are difficult to remove if left alone for too long. Don't bother with expensive cleaners unless you really have a bad blemish problem....

I use Dawn dishwashing liquid on my wheels. It takes the brake dust right off the and the shine lasts quite a while.

I used it for 3 years on my GS-R and since day 1 on the TL and have had no problems whatsoever.

Also, like someone said earlier, make sure to dry your wheels when you're done washing them. You'd be surprised how much nicer they look.
