Identify my used Work Wheels Please. How do I care for them?
Greetings,
I picked up a set of used Work Wheels yesterday. I'm no 'Baller" but man it felt good to buy a quality product yesterday.
I know nothing about them and would like to know:
1) What is the name of this series/model?
2) What are the appropriate caps for this model (I'd guess the "VS" caps are from a different set of wheels)
3) Approximate years made and value of them.
4) How do I care for them? (The backs are pretty dirty)
5) Must I buy expensive cleaners or are there some simple household/garage items that will do a fine job?
6) How do i get that lip to shine like it has batteries?
Thank you

Congrats on the purchase. You must be proud.
I would clean them with mild soap and water to remove any surface dirt or grime. If it is still there, then I would use some degreaser mixed 50/50 and then use a scrub brush with soft bristles. Once all the dirt and grime is removed, I would use a good over the counter polish and maybe the mothers powerball to give them a nice touch. I would apply this polish as the shine appears to be as good as it gets. Don't forget to clean the powerball in between the polishing. This will reduce buildup. Reapply as necessary.

I see you live in Osaka (awesome city, I was there after the Hanshin quake). If I knew about Work Wheels back then, I would have snuck some rare ones home in my Road cases.
Do you read Kanji? If so, Is the model of these wheels on the Kanji sticker?
