I actually just took my wheels off last night and cleaned them.

 

Since I take my coupe to a friends shop to do my oil changes while the oil is draining I have time to clean my undercarriage along with inside my wheels. If I'm going to an event I take the wheels off and clean them but in the process I also clean my rotors/calipers and wheel wells....my kinda fun!

I take mine off and clean everything in the wheel wells and also the back of the rim. I make sure my brake kit is clean, my coils are clean, the sway bars clean and the camber kit is clean. I make sure EVERYTHING is clean. I even clean underneath the car I like to see all the braces and the full exhaust clean. I just spray a cleaner underneath and wipe everything down and than pressure wash everything. I am OCD with the car being clean.

 

I used to detail the wheels regularly, but it's only worth while a few times a year, or for a "Show & Shine" Event.

 

I do depending on the time and how bad it is. Rims shine inside and out and it looks pretty sick

 

What do you guys use to properly torque the lugs when putting the wheels back on?

 

ummm, a torque wrench.........lol

 

I have one of Sears finer torque wrenches set at 85 LBS....

I used to take the wheels off of my Z06 to detail them. These days a flexible brush and good wheel cleaner with look just as good.
