Re: keeping wheels clean

Whos gone and bought white wheels

I dont know about anti-static sprays, but i use Auto Glym.

And then polish with normal car wax, like turtle wax.

Re: keeping wheels clean

if they dont mind not seeing behind the alloy then they could fit those rubber liner things that keep the brake dust in

Re: keeping wheels clean

Just plently of wax on the rim, cleaning them and waxing them everytime will build up so many layers that the dust wont be able to stick to them between car washes.

Re: keeping wheels clean

White wheels always remind me of Essex girls & white stilettos for some reason!
