Default Cleaning black vapor chrome finished rims

I just got a 20' IS300 AWD with the blackline package which comes with the black vapor chrome finish for the rims. Was wondering what to clean them with as I don't want to eat away at the finish.

Welcome.

I always used car wash soap and detailer spray to clean mine. No other products were needed. It will probably be easier if you pick up a wheel brush - but nothing with hard bristles. Woolywormit makes a pretty unique microfiber brush you could use.

I avoided using wheel and tire cleaners. I tried Meguiar's Hot Rims spray, and it left a mark on one of the wheels. So, I never used it again.
