Absolutely not, I repeat again, NO, NO,NO......Never, ever on the cruiser stock wheels. The reason is this, the chrome plating on the stock wheels is prone to flake, especially if you live in a climate that has SNOW.
When they put the chemicals on the road to melt the snow, it contains sodium, which will cause the wheels to corrode very quickly.
It has happened to several people that I know. I used to be a proud owner of an 04 GT Turbo pocket rocket. I changed my original wheels to after market but all the folks that keep the originals and drive them year-round, have the flaking.
Clean them with a good cleaner and wash them off, once that is done, use a good polish and a carnuba wax, this will clean and protect the wheels.
Good Luck!
Rick

I would say it is much better to use a good brush and a bucket of sudsy water then hose them off and detail them.A pressure washer will never do that good a job.

you bet it's ok... if those things get damaged when you pressure wash them ,you need to put some others that have some metal on them.... just put some tar remover,and some solvant on them ,to get the road film off,and wash um up..... and ain't it good to have a clean car?.....and they look so much better,don't they?

Yes blast away.
If the paint comes off - re shoot them again.
The paint should stay on - or it was a bad paint job to begin with... ask how I know ! ! ! ! ! !

yeah, but don't get carried away with it. You could blow the paint right off.
