Ii have a set of Procomp Xtreme alloys. Mud has stained them and I cant get the stains out. I was thinking of using oven cleaner or what els?

Don't use it!  The only thing is to try is getting them buffed out!  It's really hard to get stains out of aluminum wheels!

Sounds like you need to take them to a metal polisher.  On second thought, are those wheels clear coated?  If so, then you might want to try a Mother's Power Ball.  They attatch to a high speed drill and are "supposed" to only take 5 minutes to pollish.  If they aren't pollished, then you might want to try Never Dull.  I don't have any experience with either of these products, but the place I got my rims fixed at recomends them highly.

If they are clear coated, oven cleaner will take all the coating right off.  They will look clean after that but will get dirtier faster and look worse over time.  Don't do it.
