has anyone else noticed how dirty the inside of the rim gets? is there any easier way to clean it off besides scrubbing?

oh yeah...nothing to do on a saturday night except look at the car :mad:
 
yeah, kinda sad huh...i mean, it gets dirty as hell under there, and ...nothing on saturday other than staring at the ride...
 
kep0.... Drive real fast an hopefully the dust will blow off ha! :D .... I am a big fan of Meguiars products and use thier Gold class wheel cleaner (hasent harmed the rims yet)But I still use cotton on a stick ( q-tip) to clean between the spokes.. I would be careful with some wheel cleaners because they may eat the coating off the rims. Hopefully that helps you..

If they are real dirty, I will take them off the car to clean them.
BTW...Has anyone else noticed that "Racing Harts" are made by "Enki"?
I noticed the name printed inside the rim when I had them off painting my calipers.
Maybe everyone knows this except for me :confused: :rolleyes:

I cleaned mine when I took them off a couple weeks ago to put the winters on...its real dirty inside the rim from all the brake dust of the pads....good luck getting it all off, i got it cleaner but its not spotless...not even close....some tar build up i could scrub off either.....f***!
 
The rims do get dirty i know. What i did was spend some time one day and took each rim off individually and cleaned the polished and waxed the inside so when its get dirty again its that much easier top take the dirt off hope this helps. Later
 
i usually clean the inside ever time i clean my car i just use hotwater and soap with a sponge. you gotta be carefull since every time i seem to cut my arms and knuckles on the breaks and those shields on the rear breaks. i also notice ENKEI on the back of the rims. so are our rims ENKEI or racinghart i thought they were two seperate companies. i figure maybe they helped design them or some thing :confused: but i have no clue
