if the cleaning process really bothers you, you can have a set of back up wheels to get your thru the rainy season and slap the 20s on once the weather is better.
wanna borrow my oem 18s?! yeah right!

. Since I got a kit, I want to at least get some 19's (non-polished). Perhaps something like the OEM 19's off of the G35's. Is the 35th/06 wheels 19's?

Has anyone seen any negative effects from powdercoating wheels? I had a guy drive up from SoCal and on the way up one of his Rays Gram Lights wheels that he had powdercoated cracked in 3 different places. He thought it may have been the powdercoating that had weakened the wheel but this was the first I had heard of something like that happening.

Advanced Wheel Repair out here in OC told me that its better to use good base/clearcoat combo as opposed to powdercoating. They seem to have more customers return for refinishes from daily road conditions. Base/clear with flex additive can withstand more abuse so it seems.

James, leave your wheel alone for now. Get chrome as me then you don't have to worry about them not shiny anymore. i can see my face from the wheel every morning. No need to look to the mirror.
