yeah get some rims so you wouldnt have to roll steelies....j/p......dont use anything with oily substances....check the labels on the back...oil tends to collect dust faster.

Re: (sohcvtec1995)

Re: (EAST BAY)

I use Armor All Tire Foam. Works great. Lasts for about a week. Toothbruth the wheel with soap and water. Spray Tire Foam over the wheel/tire, and I immediately wipe the wheel with a paper towel. I hate people who don't clean their steelies, drives me crazy.
