Can buy it at autozone or advance auto. We use it to clean dirty rims and oil stains on pavement.

 

If you use it do not dilute but make sure you rinse the purple power off or it will eat the rim.

Gold spray paint, should come out with a great textured finish.

 

Wheel acid, wipe it on, wait, spray off the filth. Repeat as needed.

Those s10 wheels should have painted surfaces so I would say start with the least abrasive (no steel wool) and something that will not damage a painted surface. If you just want them to clean up a bit, either simple green or purple power and a brush. If you want to see if they can come back to near original finish, then try a quality wheel cleaner from a reputable detailing supplier. I have been more than impressed with Adam's Polishes products and their Green Wheel Cleaner is the bee's knees.

Sonax wheel cleaner. Best product, hands down.

Goes on neon green, turns blood red as it chemically bonds to the brake dust, then you just wash it off.

 

That's the coolest fucking thing I've seen all day.
