How to clean I35 Sport Rims?

What do you guys clean your sport rims with? Mine seem to have some discoloration/tarnish in them and I was wondering how to clean them.

Thanks

Chrome or not chrome?

If chrome...you can use really anything. Since I keep mine clean most of the time I just use regular car wash soap.

If they're pretty bad, use something like Meguiar's chrome wheel cleaner, a chrome polish, or even windex works pretty well.

If you have non-chrome, then it's clear-coated like any other part of the body. Wash with car wash soap or treat it like any other part of the body.

Additionally, sometimes a Mr. Clean magic eraser can be helpful on wheels.

I spray them with a simple degreaser and then use a regular car wash solution. Works pretty good for me.
