If they're 17" then they're chrome and not paint and clearcoat, right? Never seen a painted 17" diamond spoke, other than the TS and JR wheels. They look like my 17's to me.

 

Nope, they are machined & clear coated, with some paint.

 

BTW guys, sorry bout the first pic, that was a stock photo i took from ebay to show you guys wich rims they were, the second pic are actually my own rim, so i dont (THANK GOODNESS) have that white spot on mine... i will try to get some good quality pics of the rims tommorow...

 

Here are some pics. I see that alot of you guys like the Mag cleaner. I thoughtyou cant use that on aluminum wheels, is that true?> Any alternatives or special cleaners just for aluminum?

They say not to use wheel polish on clear coated wheels but I have done it for over 15 years. If you do it wipe it on & take it off right away because leaving it on could damage the clear. On pic 2 use spray disc break cleaner. On pic 3, if you have to clean it for some reason, grind the tire crap off the lips & break cleaner for the rest.

 

simple green..spray, brush, rinse, repeat...
