If your wheels are true bare metal (most all of factory wheels are not bare metal, they are clear coated) then use a metal polish like Wenol, Blue Magic, or Magic Mix

With polished billet wheels like yours I would use a fine metal polish like Wenol, Blue Magic, or Magic Mix. Some will say to use the Mothers Mag and Alum but it is more coarse than the ones I listed and should be used if the wheels are in need of repair, if they are in new like condition I would use the finer polishes like I listed.

I have billet wheels on all my cars and trucks, here is the car, these are Weld Racing wheels: http://www.transam02.com/ls1/kevinss/

When stored in a cool (room temp, 72 degrees) dry place. Avoiding extreme heat or cold.

Shelf Life is as follows.

Z-1 For optimum results use before 3 years.
Z-2 For optimum results use before 3 years.
Z-5 For optimum results use before 3 years.
Z-6 5 years +
Z-7 5 years +
Z-9 5 years +
Z-10 For optimum results use before 2 years.
Z-12 For optimum results use before 2 years.
Z-14 For optimum results use before 2 years.
Z-16 3 to 5 years
Z-18 5 years +
