I use something called "tarminator." Haha, lame, sure...but it was $3.50 at walmart and works great. Anything under the grease/sap/tar remover category would work fine.

WD40 works best.

WD40 works best.

+1. I had white wheels on my old F2. Put that thing on front and rear stands and be careful of over spray.

Simple Green, spray it on..... hose it off. That's how I used to clean mine.

I used the label and sticker remover when I took my decals off, I had some leftover and it worked like a charm on my wheels. Only problem is that is comes in like a fuggin 2 oz. can and costs $4! :upyours

+1. I had a 93 F2 with white rims and Simple Green worked really well for cleaning them. What I couldn't remove with Simple Green I used Bar and Tar Remover on.

Hah! Today I was cleaning my bike and the wheels were quite dirty. I just installed 520 kit and fixed a slow, but steady oil leak. I was thinking, "Man these things are a bitch to keep clean!". Of course I come on here and read about it too! :lao Some good tips to clean them, thanks!

I used WD40 when I had white wheels and it worked great, just don't get any on the tires.

I use a product called "Lifter 1, bug and tar remover" to clean the orange wheels on my Z1000. Works great. It's a spray on aerosol and it easily removes road grime, brake dust, etc with little effort. Just spray on and wipe off with a towel. I buy it at Advance Auto. It is also safe on paints and clearcoats.

also, the more often you clean the wheels, the easier they will be as you won't have as much crap on them to get off.

it had an oil leak.....from where?? I never saw any oil anywhere and i had it in my basement on the tile for a while.

anyway I cleaned those wheels before you bought it and i used windex on them...its what i had and seemed to work well.

Like some of the guys have said, WD-40 is good shit for cleaning junk off white rims.
