Protecting NEW RIMS

[whiteThunder]

My new wheels will be arriving within the next couple of days, 18" tripple platinum chrome ADR KAsaii wheels, and was wondering if there is anything that i should put on them like wax or special proetctant before they are mounted and on the car to ensure a long lasting mirror shine. I have heard of someone using ziano, but if you know of something other than mothers wax or aluminum/chrome polish please drop me one!

since they are chrome they will be shiny their hole life pretty much, if they were polished aluminum i'd put some Zoop seal on them, otherwise i just suggest waxing them ever month or two....

it depends what the conditions are like where you drive. lots of salt... things like that dont get along well with chrome. get some chrome polish and polish them often. do not use products made for polished aluminum on chrome. you will regret it.

Thanks, as regards to the salt, i will never run them in the winter, so no worrys there. I will wax them before they go on, and most deff. not use aluminum polish on them. Thanks guys!!!

Not that I do or anything, but what would happen?
