If you can find some Bees Wax at the supermarket, get that and rub push it into the join between rime and center. Also wipe it on the chrome surfaces
its better than normal polish.

when the wheels get wet through washing or driving in rain, ensure you dry them off. Mine started to rust (surface) on the bead lip due to standing
water. And as the others said use a wax type polish or sealer.

The WORST thing for these wheels is dog piss. If you don't spot it and wash it off, you'll get rust in a day or two, guaranteed.
A pity about the crap chrome on these wheels; they're great otherwise.
Dry steel wool is great for cleaning the (dry) wheels, once a week.
