rivetless will me much easier to clean?

what do these wheels cost?
To clarify, rivetless just means hidden bolts that are behind the face, not the front. If you have the exposed rivets, you'll get dirt/brake dust build up over time whereas if they were hidden, then the face is easier to keep clean.

Rivetless looks cleaner. Plus it would be somewhat easier to clean.

EuroCarFan brought up a good point, cleaing will be a PITA! However, I still think the rivets looks better and makes it stand out more
