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.)
