Default No, but I washed my wheels off a couple of times a week and washed it once a week.
There is so much crap on the roads here in the winter that my wheels would get out of balance if I didn't clean them out.

Default take some Bug & Tar remover to the discolored areas...
and clean off good and give a fresh coat of wax.

this usually works at getting the yellowish tinge out.

Default My gf had the same problem with my stock 16s that she now runs as winters...
I used 3 applications of Meguiar's Hot Rims - worked like a champ, they look brand new.
