What to prep brand new wheels with?

[imported_never gone]

New wheels coming in today and it`s my first time having brand spankin new ones. I saw some old posts about wheel products but wanted to get some opinions on what to try for brand new wheels. What are some suggestion for getting something on them to help protect against break dust and all that good stuff? These are the wheels below. Thanks.

Your favorite was or sealant is fine

Klasse AIO will do very well on them.

The more durable, the better.

Yeah, since it`s fairly new. I would use your favorite wax/ sealant, or better yet an AIO would be great.

I too am a Zaino freak. Which of their products would you recoment for wheels?

I`d put something on top of the AIO-type product. Used by themselves, AIOs don`t last all that long for me whereas multiple coats of sealant (usually KSG) can last for months if I clean the wheels with shampoo solution instead of wheel cleaners.



I`d wait to apply it until you get the weights on though lest the weights` adhesive not stick well. And make sure the mounters don`t mess them up. If they feel they need to "prep" the surface where the weights glue on, they might do something you won`t like (so tell `em that those surfaces are all ready for the wheelweight adhesive).

I was "kinda" about to say the same thing. I dont see the point in using an AIO. Just use the strongest wax or sealant you have.

appreciated guys. :2thumbs:

I have been using Wheel Wax (cleaner wax combo) for some time. I suppose any decent sealant will work to protect. Wheel Wax seems to help remove more grime and brake dust than soap alone. Just make sure you don`t use harsh wheel cleaners/detergents when washing; otherwise, any sealant you use will come off.

a little off topic but what size and width did you get and what are you putting them on?
