What a contentious subject and don't feelings run high about wheels
I suppose my view is, that if you are unfortunate to live in a country where the roads are covered in shite, flavoured with salt, and a generous portion of grit for roughage, then wear those god awful looking alloys (the equivalent of clogs on a ballet dancer)
In Aus, the land of milk and honey, and roads paved with gold, the only inconvenience is driving over kangaroos -I find those soft pelts clean the spokes admirably

Yeah, but look at the time we save not having to clean the chrome Roo Bars!

Simply I use black soap (soft paste) with a sponge for the flat area and a dedicated brush for the wires. Black soap, an old forgotten product, is very efficient for a lot of works. By exemple I discover recently it is very efficient to clean smoke soot on a marble chimney piece.
Condor's original question was about Stainless Wires, I have never had that luxury as my 4/4 has painted wires, but cleaning them is no big deal. Bucket, brush, floor cloth and some Muk Off (if very dirty). If they are really dirty and I need to take the wheels off, it gives me a chance to lube the suspension and clean and lube the damper blades as well. All part of my enjoyment of Morgan ownership.
Am I the only one that likes their stainless wires a little dusty with the used look? The car has to be spotless but mirror finish wires are way too loud and blingy for me.
