Do not use household cleaners or other detergents to clean your wheels. The best wheel cleaning solution is a mild soap and water solution (whatever you would trust on the paint of your car).
Clean with a soft, un-abrasive cloth. Only on polished wheels can you use aluminum wheel polish. If you use this polish on chrome, painted, or clear coated wheels, you will only scratch the finish.
Do not use steam cleaners in automatic car washes.
Do not use any tire cleaners on your wheels.
Clean wheels when they are cool. Heat can effect the soap, causing it to dry on the wheel and become difficult to rinse off.
Clean one wheel at a time. This also prevents the soap from drying on to the wheel.
After the wheels are clean and dry, apply a coat of soft paste style wax to them. This will create a moisture barrier and help ensure the finish lasts as long as possible.

Back looks fine....but I'm seriously questioning your front. Who did you get the wheels from?
EDIT: I'm lowered 0.8 with MS components

Mine aren't Volk but I have 19x8.5 35mm 245/35 in the front and when the wheels are at full turn I'm about a half inch from rubbing. Rubbing is no good, so I hope the 255 end up working for you.
Quick question, those of you with +38 offset, do you guys did any fender rolling or shaving at all? I don't know how to use the offset calculators so spare me the flame. Thanks in advance

+1 for "rolling"/"shaving".
