Well, it pitted the rims badly
. I think it was due to the finish, though I was under the impression the rims were lacquered so they would be okay. The spokes weren't damaged though, so I put it down to the finish on the wheels. There is a warning on the box about unlacquered or highly polished wheels 
I have used wonder wheels on my std 15" rims and never had any problems however

Re: Pic of my refirb'd rims.
My standard 15's are looking a bit pitted and worn. I've been using "wonder wheels" for quite some time now, but I hadn't put the two together.
Maybe I'm unlucky, and my wheels had been refurbished in the past, without enough lacquer...

I had this done to my alloys and it only lasted about a year.

Well the rims werent lacquered, basically because I wasn't getting the whole wheel refirb'd, therefore he couldn't JUST laquer the rim
therefore I need to polish the lip once a week using some wheel polish 
As long as I do this, he said they would keep their shine.
