Default Cleaning painted wheels

Does anyone have a product they recommend for cleaning painted wheels? I have the silver Foose Nitrous wheelsand I don't want to use a product that might damage the paint.

Thanks

I use car cleaner and water just like I do on the car, and from time to time I hit it with quick detailer that dose it for me. I have Foose Nitrous Black wheels and have never had any issues.

Simple green always works for me, it is nonacidic and water soluable so it doesnt harm anything. Plus, it cleans road grime and brake dust off at the same time. Your wheels are clear powdercoated over the color powdercoat so if your wheels ever do get a little dull then hit them with carnuba wax and they will shine up as bright as day.

Just wash and wax em like you would the rest of the car. Dont use anything on the wheels that you wouldnt use on the rest of the car.
