Lookin at this rim and fixin to order the black and Chrome one, and was wondering if they had a clear coat on them or not. I read on another post about the clear coat but nobody answered or I diddent see the answer anyways, and is the bolt pattern a 6 by 135? Thanks

 

Someone told me when I was looking that they were polished aluminum with no clear coat. I haven't seen one in person to confirm that.

 

how bad r polished aluminum to keep clean, and lookin good, say if u just wash them like normal rims

 

Not bad until they get brake dust on them that sits for any period of time or the neighborhood dog pisses on them... then you are going to be breaking out the polish.

 

They are a pita!! I've had 2 sets and will never own another. Had a set of Mickey Thompson classics on a yota and after a year or so of polishing them I gave them away.

 

would soap and water not get the brake dust off?

 

what happens if u dont polish them, any pics on what they would look like not polished, say if they were just washed with soap and water

 

You have to wash them at least once a week (more is better) or brake dust and road salt will pit and eat them up like crazy. Dog **** stains the (well, ****) out of them.

They will eventually haze over if you don't polish them.

 

well i dont want that, this is the first set of rims ill be buyin for a truck, want somethin thats goin to last and not be a pain to deal with, any ideas on rims that look similer to this one?

 

I have had my polished wheels for about 3yrs now and have never polished them once. When cleaned up they still shine really nice, just have some water stains when you get real close to them. As long as you wash your wheels every other week or so and don't let mud or brake dust sit on them, the factory polish on them will shine for a while
