No idea how to clean the wheels.
So here is the problem.
I don't know how to clean my BBS RS-GT wheels since I have them. The main hub is ok but the rims are this polished/brushed chrome thing and brake dust gets stuck there. I have tried many things, all of them failed. I ran out of ideas. Any ideas how to clean them (apart from spraying them with normal color) ? |

It looks like you have more than brake dust there. Slight corrosion and water marks. Easiest would be to try Meguiars rim paste&wax or if you can go the extra mile you can split them and have them repolished.

As Can mentioned get them split and use good quality metal polish if the outer rim is not lacquered. If it is, the cleaning process becomes more complicated.
I had good results with a set of BBS RX2 split rims on one of my previous V-dubs Here are a few pix... before & after |

Have you tried this stuff?
If the rims aren't lacquered, put in some time with a microfibre cloth and it should clear off the brake dust without too much effort. |
