B/dust and gold rims - looks s&%t. I clean mine often...they become grubby so quickly.

What do you guys use to clean them? warm, soapy water?

I'm on stock rims again, and they're pretty black right now. You can't even see the gold rims/brembos.

Get some darker rims American Dave! I can't wait for my new wheels, i won't have to worry about brake dust anymore..

I spray some rims cleaner on, then go over it with a tootbrush. It takes me at least an hour and a half to do it properly (all 4 rims).
