Cleaning HP EVO Wheels?

Ive been looking into getting a set of 19" EVO wheels, the only thing that is holding me back is that they look like a PITA to clean. Anyone have some first hand experience with keeping these things clean? How bad is it? Is it worse than polished aluminum?

They are a bit of a PITA. It just takes time to keep them clean, but when they do they bling

Re: Cleaning HP EVO Wheels?

hey whats up i have these rims on my camaro i have the hyper dark i have the 19 x 9.5 in the back and 19 x 8.5 in the front they look nice i love them and to clean them easy. paid 800 for the rims and 600 for tires the back is 275.30/19 and the fron is 245/35/19 and i lowered my car 1.8 inches with eibach the rear right was rubbing but i had the inner fender modified now it doesnt rub, the only problem i have is it sometimes hit the middle of the car and i feel it cause the car is low but only if i hit a ditch but otherwise i love the 3 and a half inch lip beautiful.

Not quite true. I have SS 10-spokes and the ball won't get all the way in and get into the 90 degree bends. Those wheels have smaller opening and sharper angles. Your fingers are gonna hurt....But they look fabulous when clean!
