I'm definitely a fan. Here's my winter set. Powdercoated them last year before the season.

This is how I received my car back, minus the two boxes also.

you know, this isn't all wrong. I must say, they look WAY better in person. In pictures, they look flat and boring.. but In person, they look pretty damn solid.

They aren't that hard to maintain, just make sure your hands aren't greasy when you drive and clean your wheel every couple of months. I've heard people say they wear gloves while driving too but thats just weird to me

The black looks great, but im debating something a little different. Although black is always a safe bet. Idk maybe gold or white, depends how bold I'm trying to be haha. I'll probably repaint the center caps to match using red and whatever choice wheel color I go with.

It’s not hard, yes I try to make sure I have relatively clean hands but sometimes I forget or things happen. Mine needs a cleaning probably 2 times per year. Cup of water mixed with ~5 drops of dish soap, a toothbrush microfiber tower and clean water. Use the tongue scrubber on toother brush first over really matted parts, then use the brush over the whole thing in circles. Then use the soap water and brush over it in circles. Then the towel over the wheel grab it and give a little twist all over then, again with fresh water and brush and dry again same way. Use low force when performing each step, and don’t saturate the wheel cuz it’ll be a pain to dry fully. The Alcantara doesn’t “go bad” it’s just oily and dirty and needs a clean. Gloves result in more friction which is what would ultimately ruin Alcantara

Great with a HFC/resonated x pipe.. it's supposed to be a quiet version but it's anything but. It sounds exotic. I would highly recommend a ss to anyone. There's a vid of their factory tour done by evolve motor sports on YouTube. Check it out.
