2004 Satin Nickel XLR
I just bought a new set of wheels ('09 18" chrome) for our '04 XLR. Do you have suggestions or recommendations regarding the inside of the wheels? I am going to wax them and I would like to put on a set of Kleen Wheels, but they don't make them for the XLR. I have had them on previous Cadillacs and they worked great to prevent any brake dust getting on the outside of the wheel. Thanks for your advice and assistance.

I would think the lug pattern would be he same for many caddies. Are those factory gm wheels? I've never seen a factory wheel with the screws around the outer rim. You can look under c6 corvette for figment they are the same lug pattern and maybe more options.
Waxing the inner rim will help with pitting along with helping so nothing sticks to it. If your having brake dust issues you might wanna look into ceramic pads (less dust).

The picture I submitted in my initial post was of our '05 STS wheel. The wheel was a rare option for that car. Our new wheels are like the ones on the '09 XLR, but in 18".
