I have just aquired a set of white mike buff z rims. Nice but starting to go yellow, any ideas on how to clean them short of bleaching?
Already searched the threads and cant find anything....
Thanks in advance.

bleaching them will not make them a bright white as even when new they were an off white colour

Yeah I remeber they were not bright white, but these babys are a bit yellow, I'll send ya foto.

these are my nos 48's pesky off white colour! are the ones that you have going to be for a rider ? because if they are i think bleaching them may make them a bit weak.

yeah well mine are more like bigfrawgs than stevep's!!! I'm not into bleaching, I bleached a set of blue Z's to normalise the colour before dying and it made the surface go all funny..
Gonna try cream cleaner and see what happens.
Wish I'd seen those NOS ones, very nice.
