dave- not that hard to take care. Just wax the spokes as you would to for
any set of nice wheels, and then get a boar's hair brush from http://www.griotsgarage.com
and just wash it with car shampoo. that's all, and you're all set. :smile:

mgg- I use their jack-stands and the boar's hair brush. The claybar I use
is by Mother's and the wax I used on the signature pict is the new NXT TechWax
polymer by Meguiar's. hit my 'more info' button for closeups. :smile:

The mesh wheels aren't really hard to clean if you use a brush..BUT, don't
use any brush.

Nice choice.

I haven't put my RGRs back on yet--I still have my OE 16" all-seasons at this moment, but this pic is from last fall.
