Best way to clean RUFF Wheels
I get annoyed at having to spell out obvious jokes for people who don't get them sometimes. Forgive me.
(note to self: 'Forgive me' is a complete sentence.)

It sounds like you bought them new - why not call the distributor and allow them to support their products by describing anything special about YOUR Ruff wheels that you need with respect to washing and care for them? Kind of scary that "Ruff Racing" does not have a website showing their wheels, offsets, sizes, etc.
I remember you Kham 
thanks for explaining that. lol. (keep digging that ditch OP)

Sigh. Cleaning wheels is as simple as knowing what the material is. You can find this out by checking the specs of your wheels, or asking the manufacturer/manufacturer's rep/dealer if they are: clear coated, painted, powder coated, anodized, polished aluminum, etc.
Then you google 'how to clean >x type< of wheels'. Note: aftermarket wheels are only vehicle specific in fitment, not construction. My laziest guess is that they are clear coated and painted as most low quality wheels are. Clear coated wheels are basically fine to use any type of cleaner, but hand soap is always your safest bet.
Then you can use this product called 'WHEEL WAX' to wax your wheels after cleaning < mind blowing, I know. And get this: you can find it at almost any auto parts store.

Wow that is true Motor but ya know what i read everyday on here about people using different products and saying hey this one is better then this one. I mean i dont want to use a product that could ruin my 400$ investment. Yep Yep I already know the size offset and no clearcoat thanks. HMMMM weird how that works. I can look up a lot of this online with the companies and they wanna sell their products.

~gasp~
You mean you are willing to base your purchasing decisions on the subjective judgment of people you don't know? But then you claim not to care what they think of your wheel purchase?
my.mind.is.blown.
not to mention, I never realized that the internet was a search tool only for consumerism and that links to detailing forums and non-commercial or DIY sites were blocked from coming up on search results!
are we quite done here?

My purchase of my wheels has nothing to do with peoples opinions you are correct. Just a good offset and a clean looking wheel works for me big guy. I have no need for VOLK wheels for a car I drive 4 months of the year if that. Wheels are Wheels. Products are used everyday to keep them in good shape. Why wouldnt I let people tell me the results they have had or experiences. U really make no sense

WASH and WAX them like they any other metal painted surface.
Go to AutoZone and buy Meguiar's Gold Class Soap, Quick Detailer, and Gold Class wax. Use the soap and a dedicated brush to clean the wheels, and use a dedicated microfiber towel to dry them. When they are dry, use the wax with a dedicated applicator and microfiber towel. Use the QD between washings to remove light brake dust with another dedicated microfiber towel. NEVER wipe a dry surface with any kind of towel.

please stop already.
Still not sure when I ever posted and said cleaners were cleaners? I’ve posted I don’t need 2k wheels which u brought up. I take care of any investment from 5 dollars to my home. I asked for opinions of wheels cleaners or people’s experiences cleaning ruff wheels. Thanks bud u made no sense again.
Volk wheels are a lot more than 2k, which is the brand you brought up in defense of your bad purchasing decision.
And again, if you had the ability to understand structured words properly you would see that what I said was 'based on your logic' not 'based on your post where you said you cleaners were cleaners'. Now follow that thought to it's conclusion and [lightbulb]. You don't and probably can't, so this is a moot point.
but regardless, you are nothing but a troll, so this is my last post. as Scott said "[/thread]"
