Are you guys putting regular wax on the rims? I just picked up Maguires wax can I put this on the rims, or do I need to buy special wax for the rims?

Meguiar's, or anything else, is fine. The stock rims are painted with a basecoat/clearcoat like your car's body.

Yeah any clearcoat safe wax should be cool. Mothers makes a product called Clearcoat Wheel Polish that I like a lot.

 

Humm...I wonder with the semi-high temp that rims can get would just burn off any wax? I've used wax before and really didn't notice a difference.

 

The main difference is it'll help prevent the brake dust from eating the paint off your rims before you get a chance to clean them.

I use normal Meguiars Wax #26 on my rims since I haven't bought wheel wax for the car. The car wax seems to work just as well as the wheel wax. I noticed that it came from the dealeship that way. Remember to also put it on your orange brembo brake calipers to prevent brake dust from eating the paint.

 

are you sure about the brembos? are they even clearcoated?
