depends what material the rim is made out of. i used to use meguirs wax on my clear coated lip for my shu-4's before i had my lips polished I say with any clearcoat finish, you could use any type of car wax what works with clear coats.

i doubt it then cause certain waxes might be too harsh without an clearcoat and **** with the paint on your rims and might even take the paint off. I'de just use old soap and water to keep the rims clean. They are flat black anyways... so they are pretty much a dull color anyways right?
