Thumbs up Got the new wheels!

My 17X9.5, 17X11 TT2's were just delivered!!!!

The pictures on the website do not give them justice!

How do I keep them looking nice? How often should I polish them? Any polishes work better than others?

mothers chrome polish, it leaves a layer on the wheels to protect them from getting dirty as fast, and i would clean them about every weekend or depending on how much you drive the car.

I read where someone mentioned putting coat of wax on the wheels after cleaning. Would this help any?

Should have gotten them clear coated. Don't have to worry about polish then...just wash and dry.
