Default special wheels for diesels??

Hi Guys, I usually use simple green for my wheels, been pretty happy with that. May try this solution.

Question for you....... I'm getting ready to chage out the stock wheels on my 98.5 Dodge 2500 CTD. (Will be keeping my newish BGF tires). Any idea if I have to look for a special wheel to go on it? Just get any good quality aluminum wheel??

Thanks!

They should clean up good with just soap maybe simple green if they're bad and put some wax on them and they clean easer next time. Don't use a polish you will scratch the clear.

I can't what until I find a house so I can wash my truck easily and I'm not doing it until then. Its already been 7 months, but I have always liked brown trucks they don't show dirt...
