Clean Wheels!?!

So, I am curious to know if I am the only guy out there who washes the inside part of the wheel?

I actually had someone at the gas station notice that the inside of my wheels were clean. He laughed at me.

AM I THE ONLY ONE!?

Props for spending the extra time cleaning the insides! Are they stockers or aftermarket rims?

Don't worry you're not alone. Showcar people do it all the time. It must be done at least once a month to keep all the tough grime off. Props for keeping your wheels clean.

You're not alone. Lots of folks do it - I'm one of them. The fact that someone noticed they were clean should tell you all you need to know.

Glad to hear I'm not alone....I have the factory 18s that come on the 05 Sedan with Sport Package. I think they are a hot wheel! Love the look on the wheel! Luckily, the wheel is relatively easy to clean. I only have to perform some type of cirgue-de-soleil stuff do get the very inside part of the wheel.

Like my wheels shiny and clean!!

FYI...my car can be seen in the picture gallery.

I Did with mt stock 18's! I found a great little i guess its a cup cleaner sponge at a drug store, like $1 plastic handle, spong materials on one end. It lets me do a great job on the Brembos and inside of the wheel! It's not the best made tool, but for a buck it works wonders and I only use it on the wheels!!! Before I found this thing, I used a wash mit and got the back of the wheel including inside the back of each spoke!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! LOL
