I bought a set of BBS rims sold as an option on the Boxster. They style is similar to the GT3 wheels but not as wide and different offsets. They were I great shape but filthy. I contacted BBS they are 2 piece wheels. Removed the titanium bolts on the outer part of the rim and using a piece of wood and hammer knocked out the black painted center, leaving the barrel to clean. I got a paint brush and applied the orange hand cleaner to the barrel to start. scrubbed with a sponge then used the wet sandpaper to remove rest of dirt and grime. started with 400 grit then worked up to the 2000 grit. then I got the polishing kit with polishing clay and polishing wheels from the kit to do a final finish.
