polish? arent the ruff racing wheels all clearcoated no matter what finish they come in. Well maybe except for the chrome, but ?? if chrome id use a mother's/meguiars chrome cleaner...Simple as that...and dont ever use degreaser on any wheels, too risky too harmful to the wheel.

I have the 278's on my GTO...I know the lips on mine are not clear coated. I didn't think any of their wheels had clear coating...except for maybe on the painted centers.

soap and water is best, and a little elbow greese, http://www.clanocdelta.com/z28/resized%20pics.JPG

hub rings are your friend no issues here, all the way to 158 mph

I use a cloth and soap and water.... Then some blue polish that works awesome. I just jacked the car on and slapped them on..no fitment issues what so ever.
