    Body oils/sweat from hands, plistisizers in the wheel, UV (sunlight), heat and time.

    It's a bad recipe.

    I have heard several methods for cleaning.

    I have one, cleaned it, was not sticky at all, stored in air conditioned house, a year later, sticky again.

    I think maybe I will try the SEM cleaner (vinyl prep for paint) and then find a sealer (maybe a semi-matt clear) for vinyl product and see it that will work.

    If not, it will get a black Wheel skin.

    Other's may have something that worked long term.

    Duane explained the sticky situation in a thread on here somewhere. There’s no cure other than cleaning it regularly.
