This is a coated rim with a polished trim ring and a spoke that has a paint or powder coating on it. I would look at the coated area with care and not abuse it to much with anything that is rough. Look for suggestions from Coy's, or other outlets that have coated wheels, if you cannot find anything close to home. The use of a good soft wheel brush and good soap (NOT dish soap) to clean them is suggested. Be careful of anything touting that it is SAFE for wheels. test on the back side for safety.

The polished part can be cleaned and protected with a metal polish. Seal the coating and polished areas with a good sealant.

ONCE AGAIN contact Coys and find out wht athey recommend.
