as Dan said... wouldnt.
Guessing the Interlagos alloys are polished? if so, wonder wheels is very stong/acidic, so wont be any good for them.
Will be best using a custom wheel cleaner. or usually just best to go over with car shampoo lightly, water then wax.

The detailing bods will be in to say otherwise but i've also used wonder wheels for years and i've not had any problems.
Just don't leave it burning for hours.

My only experience of the stuff is with my old Turini's and it made a right mess of them. If i were to use it now I'd dilute it pretty heavily.

your wheels must have been a mess to start with or you left it on way to long?

Wonder wheels is ok to use sometimes - not on a weekly basis.
I'd advise watering it down a bit if you need to use that. If not, invest in something like AG custom wheel cleaner or bilberry

lol, nope, I keep my cars immaculate and it was never left to dwell. Its very concentrated. Its ok if diluted and used on heavily soiled wheels but I wouldn't touch it any other time.
I can't reccommend Bilberry highly enough though, much more forgiving and it lasts forever.
