Hey again guys, sorry if this has been answered before, but im trying to find a decent way to protect my rims for the rest of the winter, next year we will be getting steel rims, but this year cash is kinda tight from just buying it, so if anyone has any ideas......
one coworker suggested spraying them with Fluid Film, and another suggested spraying with white lithium grease....
any feed back would be great
thanks everyone

there's a product called Wheel Wax that is suppose to protect but I don't know anyone that's used it before, I'd be careful of what you'd put on the wheels (especially grease) because it may get on your brakes...

you don't necessarily need wheel wax, you can just used regular carnauba wax. make sure you clean the wheel really well first (use a wheel cleaner, ~$6, i like black magic/mothers), make sure there is no brake dust, and then apply and remove the wax as you would on the paint.

Whitegt01 is right any carnauba wax will do!
any sealant/wax will do the trick to protect your rims. i always do this on my customers cars as well as my own.

Yeah, I wouldnt spray oil or spread grease around my tires....I know every year after my Jeep gets its Krown treatment I almost rearend someone on the way home. Just that little bit of overspray makes the brakes non existent for a little while.

Try water and soap every two weeks that should clean them
