don't brillo them, bad idea

I used to use meguiar's gold class chrome wheel cleaner and it worked well. I think they've recently replaced it with hot rims chrome wheel cleaner. Might try that stuff.

I've used the brilla presoaped pads you can buy at the store for my exhaust tips, but those are stainless. I'm not so sure about using them on chrome, might scratch them easily.

I am willing to bet they are rusting from the inside out from salt on the roads.
