So I bought a 2kxj a couple days ago and the rims were pretty dirty. So I grabbed a wire brush and some simple green and went to town. Here's the results.



The nasty before





And the after! Not too shabby right? I think they cleaned up rather nicely.

You may want to dump those cheap covered lug nuts before they strand you next the road somewhere with a wheel you can't change.

Best upgrade ever aside from rear disc conversion. I lost all but 3 of the caps. Had to use several ratchets whenever i had to remove wheels
