50/50 mix of simple green and water, let it soak for 20-30 seconds, rinse it off then dry it.

You can use a microfiber applicator pad to scrub the wheels before you rinse them off too. Let us know if you had any luck!

I just got a set of Fikses and cleaned them inside and out with the 50/50 simple green mixture. Worked really well. Just don't let it sit on the wheels for too long.

well pretty pissed off right now, tried the simple green and didnt work. So i check out this brush thing that meguires makes and it says safe for painted and powder coated wheels, like ****** hell it is. Damn thing scratched my rims and still has brake dust on them, I think the salt etched into the rims and im just gonna get new rims. Nothin else i can do so im thinking chrome instead of black, b.c black sucks keeping clean and chrome always looks good.
