Cleaning black wheels

I'm getting some black AR Rebels in this week and I was wondering what everyone with black wheels uses to clean them? I am planning on just using some soapy water and a soft cloth. I plan on putting some Zaino on there every so often to keep them easier to clean and keep brake dust off of them. Thanks for the help

I always clean them with the same stuff I wash the car with. Once a year, I remove them to fully clean them. They put a coat of wax on them. Very easy cleaning the rest of year.

Pretty much the same thing here. I wash my car all the time when its out to play so the wheels are always clean. I wouldnt use anything harsh that could hurt the powdercoating.

Soap and water is your best bet to keep them clean. I used a sealer on the wheel to make it easier to clean and to have the water bead up on them and not leave harsh water spots.

Clean them up even though they are ew, because if they are mounted that wax is on them to get the tires on, but clean them how you would, and slap a nice coat of wax on there, then the brake dust comes right off. And then when you car needs a cleaning clean and wax them again.
