Cant seem to get my MR BBS wheels clean???

I was wondering what to do to clean the lip and edges of my MR BBS wheels?

I tried spraying on some simple green extra strength, tried a spokge with soapy water and then tried a wheel brush but still there is some black stuff still on the inside edges of the lip....

any advice??

Is it kind of oily? Or like road tar? If so, I found that "Goo Gone" took off everything else that didn't come of with soap & water...

A brush will only get the broad areas clean. You need a cloth or mit and use your fingers to get the corners. It's the only way- annoying but the only way.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe try some sort of wheel polish and rub the **** out of it. I hope the wheels aren't ruined- they're way too expensive to be f'in up.
Wish you luck.
P.S. I ended up in a curb due some ahole and had the lip scraped about half way around and the wheel was actually bent vertically. I had wheel doctor refinish it and straighten it for $150. I can't even tell it happened. Point being, you might have to have some professional help you.
