I like the full polished. You really cant appreciate them until you see them in person. I stare at my car everytime Im in the garage.

Those are nice, real nice. I can't imagine cleaning yet alone polishing. I thought my 10 spokes were a pain. That's why I went the painted fm5 way.

They are really not that bad to polish. Gave them a quick once over today before i put them on. I don't ever drive this car in the rain or anything so hopefully keeping up on the maintenance will keep them looking nice.

They will get dirty though. My car never sees rain and sometimes never even the light of day.. I have techni-polish centers to so I just have to clean them with soap, water, and a brush. Let me tell you cleaning them perfectly with no brake dust is a tedious task. All the nooks and crannies will get to you. Polishing the lip is a breeze with Adams but cleaning all the spokes and crevices is something I never look forward too.

I agree, they will get dirt, even when you only drive in good conditions, but who cares; they look ****.

I have long studs for my drag wheels. Not sure what i can do as far as different lug nuts.

Took this yesterday, really like the angle thanks for the compliments guys. Love these wheels, gives the car a whole different look.
