Default Fat bob wheels

What if anything will get them looking like new again. I try to keep up with them but it seems like nothing is working. I can see painting or coating them real soon!

send them my way... i can knock those out pretty cheap, no spokes so lacing and unlacing is not an issue... just pull the rubber, pop out the bearings, coat, put back together and mail them out!

I use a toilet swab to clean mine, the soft kind. Soap and water.

I hope you wiped oven cleaner offf that aluminum real quick,that **** is acid man. Shout apparently works really well,and you really gatta keep an eye on the back rim. The brake dust sticks and turns into a porous black glue. And that is where the shout seems to work.,so next time it'll be shout first and mother's aluminum polish,to finish up

The over cleaner worked in the 1/4 inch circle I tryed but I won't try any more thanks for the heads up. I don't have black rims but I'm gonna try the shout next and if that dosent work I will have black wheels as soon as I save up enough cash

I've heard of people using WD40 on a rag making sure that it doesn't get on the tires and making sure it is wiped off afterwards. I've done it a few times and it works ok.

I recently bought some S1000 spray. I was amazed at how it brought my wheels back to life. A little pricey, but worth it IMO. I'm actually pretty happy with how it worked for all of my bike...
