i use Mothers Chrome Polish on my chrome TA rims. I could use the Zaino but thats just too expensive to use on wheels. I am MORE than happy with the Mothers.

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> just a hint of advice....the chrome rims on the new cars are clear coated.....just use regular car polish and wax. Actual Chrome polish will hurt the rims in the long run, cause you'll be scratching the clear coat on them <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I don't think these wheels have a clear coat on them. I don't think they are chrome either. I think they are polished. But I thaught they only came in chrome. The guy I am bought them didn't know much about them he just baught them from a guy that had a ram air and I don't guess he knew to ask questions.

I think they came off of a 2000 car..... so which would they be? didn't 98 or 99s come with polished wheels?

You should treat them just like you do the paint on your car. I use zaino on mine. Up until early 2001 all ws6 cars all had the same rims, five spokes with the ws6 center cap. Some time in 01 they changed to 5 spoke rims with wider spokes and a pontiac logo center cap, not quite as shiny as the previous ones.

Try Meguires Gold Class polish--About 3 coats.
You have to keep the brake dust off of them!

Not sure about where to get the center caps. The chrome lug nuts you can order from www.summitracing.com
They are the Gorilla chrome accron set. Comes with 16 chrome nuts, 4 chrome locking nuts, key, and 4 chrome valve stems for about $25. You will need the 12mm x 1.50's.

I just use some cold water with car wash soap. Mixed in with a little elbow greese it looks great, I have the 02 ws6 17" high polished aluminum wheels. I wash the wheels at least once a week, that way there isnt a ton of brake dust on them. Some products people use are way to harmful and takee the clearcoat right off.
