Look good. Depending on how "inexpensive" they are I would go for them. Not to be a dick, but how are you getting away with posting wheel mods in this section? I can't even write an opinion without someone jumping down my throat saying, "Your opinion doesn't count, you have less than 30 posts." But, the wheels...do it to it.

I have almost 700 posts and I'm still trying to figure that out....
But now that you have over 30 but less than 60, youre opinion only counts once a week; and thats only on the third Wednesday of every month. Sorry.

I have had them for over 2.5 years now and they are pretty easy to clean. I spray em down with a dilute simple green mix after I wet them. Let em sit for a couple minutes then spray em off. Then hit em with a high pressure mist stream from a fire hose type spray nozzle and they are squeaky clean.

They are simple to clean. They are painted centers and have clearcoated lips. Never water spots, never need polishing. I probably got more compliments on that set of wheels than any other brand I've owned so far.

If all goes as planned I'll have them by the new year, just need to decide on silver or hyper dark.
