RE: fatboy wheels
I wipe it down with brake clean (sprayed on a rag not the wheel) then I use S100 Corrosion protection. I think I am going to switch to just using a good wax, the S100 is too pricey and wax will do just as good. I am in the process of sanding and polishing the rim lip right now, the PO had let them oxidize somewhat.

Before I got mine chromed, I used diluted Simple Green and a hand brush EVERY time I road.
The trick (for me) was not letting the dirt and grime build up to a point where the wheels were becoming stained. If your not an OCD bike cleaner (like me) I would look into the clear coat option as well.

i'm very **** about keeping my bike clean but, the guy who bought it new wasn't asanal *** me so the rims are starting to get the haze to them. when i put the new back rubber on it, i still had it on blocks, started the bike, put it in first and let it idle while i used a peice of 1000 grit sandpaper just to see how it would work (ONLY on the outer edge). thanks for the feedback

RE: fatboy wheels
just for the record....THESE RIMS DON'T MAKE THE BIKE WANDER ALL OVER THE ROAD BECAUSE THEY ARE SOLID!!!!!!!!!!!!you got to figure, if you have a full dresser or sadlebags, you have just as much wind resistance if not more with a bike with spokes. not only that, if spoke wheels are spinning at 60mph, they are a solid too!!!!!!!!!!just my 2cents
