Thanks everyone! now what do you use to clean and protect your wheels? so far i have been using a firm mibro polishing wheel and mibro polish. Oh and how hard is it to take them apart a clean them?

I use a mix of 50/50 simple green and water to clean them. Then I protect them using Pinnacle Souveran Carnauba Paste Wax.

+1 on 50/50 Simple Green and h2o. Always cleaned mine up nice. Hit the lips with some mothers billet polish and the centers with a coat of wax and I'd use the spray detailer that I used on the car and they were looking good.
