I have them on my Daily Driver, and they can collect dirt pretty quickly. The good news is, that with a little TLC every other day it keeps the dirt to a minimum and saves you a lot of work later on. Overall they are definitely worth it, they ride well and they are an attention getter. Mucho recommendo.

If you get the TT2s, buy some zoop seal, or other type of metal sealer to keep the shine looking new for a while. If you don't you will getsick of polishing them. Trust me, I loved mine but I got tired of polishing the crap out of them. I ended up getting rid of them in favor of some chrome Firehawks.

If you are going to run a 10" wide I would say get a 295 instead of a 275. I have uncoated polished wheels and almost never have to polish them. All I have to do is keep water from drying on them and wash the, every other week. I have not polished mine in about 2months and they look almost perfect. I also seal mine in car polish.

I have TT2s on my daily driver. I polish them about once a month if I have time, if not its once every two months. I try to keep them up so they look nice and I don't have to sit for hours trying to clean them up. I could go longer but its easier to do it often then letting them get dull and trying to clean them up later

Also the 275 isn't as wide as the 295. If you are going with a 17x10 or 17x11 I would go with something bigger than the 275, I think the 295 would look a lot better with the 17x10 wheel.
