best way to care for?

I have recently purchased a set of 20x10 fuel crank rims in black and was wondering the best way to keep these looking as new? Also how about during the winter months? thanks

Just like your paint - wash and wax them when you do your truck. Dress them up with Hyperdressing in a 2:1, 3:1, or 4:1 solution, depending on how shiny you want them. If you're overly worried about them in the winter, you may just want to get a set of wheels specifically for winter.

Agreed. Treat wheels like any other painted surface. I'm (carefully) assuming Zander meant the Hyperdressing was for the tires. I hope so cause products like that will degrade the properties of the wax (or whatever you use) and negate the intended benefits of treating wheels like painted surfaces.

Not knowing the surface treatment of those wheels from the factory, the absolute best thing you can do for winter is be aware when they're exposed to salt. If exposed, wash them as soon as practical; even just hitting it with the hose and nothing else is better than nothing.

Well yes and no, it is safe to use on your wheels but I should have been more specific and said to use one or the other, not both at the same time. I should have clarified...thanks for the catch.
