    Nice wheels, but scary cleaning instructions, sounds like anything and everything can damage the finish. I have all white wheels too and actually they stay cleaner then any other wheels I have on my other cars. Remember there is very little brake dust from the Prius brakes, which helps keep our wheels looking clean! :)

    Those are very nice wheels, they're going to look outstanding on the car. (y)

    Keeping them paste-waxed will help reduce dust buildup to begin with, and make them easier to clean with the microfiber wipes. On the other hand waxing them will be time consuming. Sounds like a 1st-world problem! :cool:

    Did you not read the caution label from the manufacture that he posted? o_O Only water and a microfiber towel can be used to keep them clean..:cool:

    I'm sorry, the fine-print on the box says nothing forbidding the use of wax. Specifically I meant use a carnauba non cleaning paste wax, which I'm sure the OP already has and likely knows since it's clearly not his first rodeo. :D

    My last car had a set of Fikse FM5 rims that got 'wheel cleaner' etched by a new kid that didn't know better, who was new in the detail shop at the dealer. The wheels appearance were ruined, and never looked the same afterwards, despite being stripped, painted and clear coated. So I've been there, too.

    You can do anything you want, but being an experienced detailer, I would not use any products on these wheels, and as they recommend use only water and a clean towel. If you wash your car weekly these wheels should stay pretty clean.

    Hey, I didn't intend to be rude or dickish with my reply. Better to be cautious than regret scarring a wheel.

    That kit really looks fantastic in Hypersonic Red. :cool:

    That rear camber looks pretty extreme, even bagged.

    Had these for a while from Japan, finally installed them. They are not offered as options in the USA at the dealers.

    Welded the mount on to the Seamless tank so we don't need the ugly strap

    Custom painting the tanks to color match the car.

    Always do hard line the right way. We use swagloc fittings. Many just use PTC in which was never meant for hard lines. We used also Stainless steal lines not Aluminum that can crack or corrode

    That's some fine craftsmanship, very impressive! Looking terrific.
    Any chance you're fitting some titanium skid blocks?
