Default getting grime off of rims

I have deep dish rims and the big lip on both rims are getting dirty and I can't seem to get this stuff off. It must be rubber from the tires or just dirt but its stuck on there pretty good. I don't know what to use. Should I try aluminum polish or something like that. Anyone know of a good product that will clean them and not waste my money?[/align][/align]

Turtle wax chrome polish seems to work pretty well, you just have to put a little work in to it. I have found it to be as good as the more expensive stuff. I have used it o chrome and Alloys wheels. Cost less than $3!

you can clay it off, then put some wheel sealant/cleaner wax on it for further protection
