Cool truck and the wheels look good. The word patina gets used a lot, but I think that it originates with a surface like your wheels that has some oxidation. I like to use Griot's metal cleaner for things that I want to have clean but not necessarily polished. It does a little cleaning and adds just a little sheen. Does a nice job on carburetors when you don't want to use carb cleaner on the outside and wash all the coloring off. It also leaves a bit of a protective film.
