good luck we had anodized parts on racecars and never found great way to take care of it.Dont wax it the wax tends to stay inbeded in the aluminum and is lmost impossible to get back off.Windex worked best but not great.

Hey Bobberino - Are you sure those are anodized and not powder coated?

If they are anodized, I don't really know of a way to make them shine. The only thing I can think of is to have the whole wheel clear powder coated. That might bring some shine back. All the parts I had PC'd black have a clear coat on them. They're pretty shiny and have stayed that way.

If it turns out they are powder coated, just wax them with a fine glaze.

Just a thought.
