Message	:So I have these 17" Equip rims (nothing special) on my 94 Z. Everything was going great until I decided to give them a quick cleaning. I went out and got some EagleOne wheel cleaner and got to it. I probably should've just cleaned them with some soap or something because they're totally jacked now. :How can I get my rims looking like they used to? :The rims came with the car. I'm not sure if they're chromed or just polished aluminum but now they're stained crap. I have pictures, lemme just figure out how to post them. Try going to this web site for the pictures [ http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/yorgo04/album?.dir=534a ] hopefully it works. I used both those cleaners. The one on the right first and then the other. I think the one on the left made it worse. What am I to do?
