Funny I guess I'm no punk kid anymore. Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I used that Westleys tire bleach (or what ever it's called) on my American Racing Torg Thrust wheels once. Wasn't on the tires but a few seconds when I scrubbed them off and rinsed. I noticed that there were some funny looking marks on the wheels. No doubt that they got there from the bleach. They're still there.

I have been using Wesleys Tire Bleach to clean my tires and wheels for many years and never had a problem. I think the look of the tires after cleaning with Wesleys is much more natural looking than the shinny greasy look of a lot of the tire dressings on the market.

This stuff is better left for steel unchromed wheels Boy I certainly disagree with that claim. Everybody knows the main corrosive component of salt water mainly is chlorine, and everybody knows what salt water does to steel, so? Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I don't know about what it does to wheels, I only use it on the tires. I spray it on a rag and wipe down the tires...no problems

Never again. it is great for cleaning your tires, you won't believe the brown gunk it gets off, but I am very careful to keep it off my aluminum rims.
