Are Fikse FM5's High Maint.?
Hey Guys,
I've been bouncing around the idea of getting a set of Fikse's for my Camaro.
I've never seen a set on a 35th Anniversary LE Camaro before.
Are the FM5's in the "Technopolish" considered high maintenance?
I don't drive this car everyday. It will hardly ever see rain and it's stored indoors.
Thanks,
Brian

I've never had a set, but i think the centers have a coating on them so you only have to wash them like you would normally, but you would have to occasionally polish the lips, but thats the easiest part of a wheel to polish so still not a huge deal.

Very low maintenance. I've had mine since 2003 and I polish the wheel lips and wax them once a year and clean the centers with spray detailer. That's it. Can't get much easier. There aren't a million crevices on them either, very easy to clean.

I like the way this sounds cause I myself am leaning towards a set of Fikse for when I park the car to start re-doing it. If it's gonna be down, might as well do it right the first time and what better wheel to get than a set of Fikse's? Lol.
