My new Supercups will arrive Monday. Can anyone suggest a polish for the rims and wax for the centers? And when you polish the rims how do you keep the bolts clean? Thanks in advance.

I've used Griot's Mag Wheel Polish and it seems to work pretty good.
These wheels came with the car from a PO. Don't even get me going on why the PO ordered Boxster offsets for a 993.
That'll be $700 to fix when it comes to be PSS-9 time.
I've got to admit, these rims are a pain to keep polished. And keeping the bolts clean?![hiha](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/roflmao.gif)
That is, unless you have your personal detail slave.

They may be hard to clean but they are IMHO one of the nicest looking wheels for the 993. I was leaning toward them but I am using my car for a daily driver and my personal detail slave is only 10 years old and just a little careless so I opted for the turbo twists. Post some pictures when you have them on the car.

Thanks for the tips and kind words. I would've really preferred the Speedline for Porsche 3.6T type, but the $$$ for them is, well, nuts. One thing, I'll be upgrading to Big Reds, and I'm glad I told Wheel Enhancement that when I ordered-seems the 17"s Kinesis Supercups in my std offset wouldn't clear normally, they have to fab them with room. Normally 17" stock wheels will clear Big Reds so I naturally thought these would too. I think I would've been supremely annoyed if I found out later.

Since the Supercups use a 17" face on the 18" wheel, WE probably had to get creative on the offset. As far as keeping the bolts clean, I have found the most effective way to clean them on my HRE's is not to let them get too dirty. After each drive, I will at the very least use a mini California Duster to clean them. Either that or spend the better part of a day with a toothbrush!
