Half a tub of Poorboys on 'em to start with, then make sure you wash them at least once a week.
After a month or so, slap on another quick coat of Poorboys and the crap won't stick and it all washes off.
Keeping white wheels clean is not the easiest thing in the world, but they do look the dogs danglies when you have done it!

have to agree,wonder wheels is harsh stuff if used a lot on the rims.i bought a gallon drum of meg's wheel brightner which seems to be a lot kinder and is lasting me ages but when you get them clean use a good wheel wax. you will find after a few coats a weekly wash has the rims like new again,all they will need is a quick wipe with a shammy after washing

Oh my god i want those brakes!!
I use a product called Cartec wheel cleaner, its safe for all finishes and acid free. All you do is spray on and hose off, thats it. Has to be seen to be believed. Then your choice of wax etc

think the 2500`s are made from carbon and when the pads are hot the dust seems to weld its self to the wheel, there a pretty good pad but if anybody likes to keep there wheels all nice and shiny avoid like the plague!
