Default need some help in cleaning rims.

This time not for my S2000

Its for my BMW 745i with 22'' rims

The rims will complete almost 7 months.

The problem that the chrome part in the rim become little old & the color changed from chrome to light gold "maybe from the tire heat".

What is the best way & what should I use to clean the rims?

Are you sure it's from heat and not from the quality? Chrome that turns yellow is usually because the amount of actual chrome that is on the rim from being dipped. Were they custom made?

I recommend this product called Wheel Wax, I got mine from Tire Rack. It is good for removing discolorations. I think they are about $14-$16.
