I've contacted Factoryreproductions to try to get info on how to care for the wheels. I have the chrome Jeep SRT8 reps with some light break dust stains and light pitting inside the well of the wheel. I can't access my AOL at this time but I'll post the emails I've sent and received from FR....
Please list what products you use and how you like them....
I'm planning on taking the wheels off in the near future and cleaning and polishing them. please any input you may have is greatly appreciated...
The emails...
I just purchased a set of 20" Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 replica wheels from a friend that purchased them from your site. I was wondering if someone can provide me with some information about the wheel. I was wondering what metal is the wheel made of? Is it chrome all the way through or coated? If you can provide me with the information or direct me as to where I can find the information, it’ll be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nathan

Thanks for the prompt reply. What do you suggest I use to clean/polish the wheels with? Should u use aluminum, metal polish, or something other?

Treat the wheel the same way you would the paint on the car. Keep them clean. Brake dust will eat into the chrome if it is left on the wheel for extended periods. I you want to wax them use a Carnuba wax. Do not use a cleaner wax some will damage the finish.

I have a set of the 20" chrome jeep SRT8 rims. I was wondering if
there is some pitting in the barrel of the rim, what can I use to
clean them? All purpose cleaner?
Thank you in advance,
Nathan
