Although the wheels on my GTS aren't in bad shape, I would like to brighten them. They seen to have a slight haze to them.

Are these chromed or do they have a clear coat on them? Anyone have a specific product that has worked for them? I would love to get a mirror finish to them.

Meguiar's swirl remover polish (for paint). The more you use it the better they look.

The most important issue here is how you WASH your clear coated rims...If you rub hard when washing...your'e definately going to scratch them. Brake and road dust/dirt will cause hazing/swirls real quick. Wet the rims real good first(hose off all dirt you can) and then VERY GENTLY use a micro fiber towel loaded with car wash soap...Zaino, Meguiers,etc. DO NOT apply any pressure when washing...almost like flopping or throwing the towel at the rims. To get the haze out use 3M Products. It removes them vs. other products temporaly hides them. Use #05996 Foam pad polishing glaze first....then for deeper hazing use #39002 Fine cut rubbing compound. Apply with small microfiber towels. MAKE SURE the rims are 100% free of all dirt/dust, or you can cause more haze.

Best way to dress up Viper wheels is to attach a nice Viper to them.
