I am looking for suggestions on how to best treat the bare aluminum on the inner parts of the wheels on my Silverado. They have been bead blasted and are fairly clean but I do not want to clear coat or paint them. Most products are for polishing which is fine for the outer part but I would like to keep the inner looking as they do now. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

I have heard good things from people who use Gibbs protectant / lubricant on bare metal.

May work well on your wheels, just make sure to spray it on a rag first instead of the rim just to prevent overspray on brake rotors & pads.

Thanks for the info Daryl. I'll be removing the wheels to swap out for winter ones so will give it a try.
