Use only water and soap on volk wheels. Volk wheels are fragile.

As dumb as this sounds, Ive heard people cleaning their wheels with peanut butter.

Dont do it, I remember reading on a car forum a couple months ago that people used peanut butter would eat the grime, bud don't quote me I always wanted to try it.

Read here a little.

Take a look at the 350z forum and you will find people have problems with their volks. Just use soap and water. Don't let the dealer clean your wheels either.

so i think peanut butter is not an option for me. So is water the only thing i should be using on these?

You can use a couple types of waxes on the matte finish to keep them protected and to maintain their satin 'like new' finish. I have used most carnauba waxes on matte finishes although you can look for a product call Collinite 476s, it is very durable on wheels and leaves a great finish on matte paints. After every wash in between waxing, use a quick detailer.

I also agree with the others; regular soap and water are all you will need.
