Default Wheels...

So three part question:
1. Does anyone know anything about these Eagle Alloy rims, they seem to be discontinued.
2. How can I find out what they are made of?
3. What is the best way to clean and polish them? I was thinking of trying Eagle One's Nevr-Dull.

They have some spots and stuff on them and I don't want to jack them up any more than they are.
1994 F-150 Supercab / 302 5.0 / 4R70W / 8.8 3:55 OD

Any help would be appreciated...

Neverdull wouldn't hurt the wheels, but it may not be as aggressive a polish as the job requires. It looks like your wheels have a clear coat so, you can use most aluminum/mag wheel cleaners. As for polishes, Mother's is pretty easy to find, affordable and gives good results, but there are many options when it comes to wheel polishes. If you have a drill, I would recommend picking up a microfiber buffing ball to make the job go a lot faster and get better results.

Top Tip: Don't forget to wax your wheels when your done!

They have these wheels on LMC.com. This is where I get most of the parts I need.

And I agree with the above comment, definitely wax them when you are finished. Always. Will help keep them clean and make cleaning them a lot easier.

Hey, thanks for the replies fellas.
I'm going to hit up Wally World today and look for some of that Mother's stuff.
I actually think I remember seeing a kit that has everything in it.
Have a great day!

Here’s what I used:



They still need some some work and I’m definitely going to pick up one of those buffing *****.
100% improvement, thank you so much!
