jharper, you gotta let me know how easy/hard it is to clean those with the false beadlocks. I was thinking about getting some but its hard to find black rims with no center hub, no bead locks, and good looks. I''ve been staying away from the false bead locks because I dont wanna sit outside with a tooth brush for 45 mins cleaning wheels.

I washed and waxed it for the 4th and the rims took me maybe a half hour or so to do, they are easy to wash and polish, it has a deeper lip on it so you can get right to the bead locks and wash it real good, brake dust sucks, ill tell ya that, you cant see it, but man can you see it on your fingers.

On my truck, my front brakes get CRAZY amounts of brake dust, ATLEAST 5 times as much, its pretty depressing, and one of the reasons I don''t want chrome rims. My silver painted stock rims look terrrrrible because I neglect cleaning them.
