Seems obvious, but do NOT spray brake or carb cleaner on them lol. I didnt think about it before i did it and it bubbled and peeled my stock grey paint off. So i ended up rhino liner them

Blue coral has a cleaner spray that you can use on your rims that works pretty good. I use that or mothers chrome polish. Stuff works great.

Mother's Tire and Wheel Cleaner, followed by Chrome Polish. Brake dust just rinses off.
