I have the same wheels with spacers. Cleaning is easy. Just take a soft sponge and use lots of water pressing the sponge in the wheel. 1/2 hour for 4 wheels and they shine like crazy.
The wheels dont look good on pics but in real life they are impressive. Very happy with them. Good mix between sporty and classy.

Hi Don,
Yes the hum was there only on certain surfaces. But you had to listen really carefully. The guys at Tirerack said the tyres need a few hundred miles to properly wear in.
Any way I have done 700km on mine & they are amazing. Of course there will always be surfaces that are noisy to drive on with any tyre, but on 90% of the roads I drive on the tyres are really quiet, and very smooth.
Enjoy!

[/quote]Actually the first time I looked I didn't see the first photo in your series of photos that you pasted into your post. Maybe it didn't download. Anyway, that was the shot I was looking for.
