i got the outside silver part nice and shiny.... now... how do i get the black laced part looking BLACK again? they are practically gray now..

is there some kind of cleaner/blackener i can use or is this require some kind of paint job? i will be getting my ride painting sometime in the future is it possible to have the shop do them at the same time? or like i said do they just need some type of cleaning? anyone?

 

I'm no expert, but here's what I'd try. I have a proper sized "bottle brush" with fairly stiff bristles from a hardware store that I use to scrub inside all the holes. Even so, it's hard to get brake dust off completely. I'd try one of the tints for black plastic as a way to darken the remaining dust and paint. Hopefully it will dry and not remain sticky like a tire dressing so it won't hold onto new dust. If this doesn't work then I guess it's time to repaint.
After the new paint is on, I'd use a good polymer coating like you'd use on the body. This will help keep new brake dust from sticking to the paint. Polymer coatings are better for this than a wax would be.

 

I bought some Meguiars wheel cleaner spray, it works pretty good especially if you use a bottle brush with it, if you really want to get into the smaller holes in the center you might have to get in there with a Q-tip though.

 

GTA wheels are some of the hardest wheels to clean with the 20 V spokes. I got the black ones so I would not have to worry about cleaning the brake dust off all the time. The same method that 2xsess uses works for me too.

 

well mine are turning grey also from the dirt and brake dust.

still looks black. new rim time soon i guess 17's.
