: My wire wheels are currently lubricated with basic grease, and it looks a
: mess after many miles/months as it has seeped through the nipples.  When I
first
: purchased the car several years ago, the hubs/splines were lubricated with
a
: silver colored materaial (not quite the consistency of grease) and even
when it
: seeped through the nipples it didn't matter much, since the silver color
was
: unnoticeable on the silver painted wheels.
:
: So, does anybody know of or use the silver colored lubricant?  If so,
: specific product name and source would be helpful?  I looked through the
auto parts
: store and couldn't find anything, and the guy behind the service counter
must
: have just come back from his doober break cuz he was basically useless.
(He
: kept trying to sell me an attachment to my drill every time I mentioned
"wire
: wheel"!!!)
:
: Otherwise,  what lube do you use, and how do you keep it from seeping out
(or
: am I resigned to cleaning them every few weeks.)
