How do you clean these wheels??
Havent even picked up the cars but after looking at those wheels close, it looks like your going to have to clean the INNER wheel too? Does anyone have any tricks?? You dont have to take the wheels off every 4th or 5th time?

Wheel/rim cleaning tips
What rim manufacture/style is it (pics would help).
Generally,
Purchase a wheel brush available at any auto supply store. Get the one with the longer handle for cleaning the wheel wells and the short one for cleaning the rims.
Also, you can purchase a hand mit (fits over either 3 or 4 fingers) that is used to clean the brake dust on the back side of the spokes.
If it is a "basket-weave" rim (i.e. BBS RSR rims) you have to purchase small brush to get in between the basket-weave spokes. Most quality auto stores carry these. (Griot Grage.com)
Good luck.

2009 370z with a sports package. Im starting to see that it is easier than I was making, but it does seem like it will be more wheel to clean than on my 350z.
