not difficult to maintain...they are polished very well...so I just spray water, add some wheel cleaner from Griots Garage and wipe and they are good to go!

Those look very nice, but I think I prefer the stock rim compared to those. It's funny I've been eyeing wheels for my IS-F when I get it this August and those HRE's were some that I really liked. I probably won't be getting the same wheels now, but nonetheless, congrats on a beautiful combo...Darshana S...

Wow HRE's! That's balling! I like how you kept in mind that you needed something performance enhancing, I mean that's why you did buy the IS-f right? Hehe. Looks great, and those rear treads are lookin sex!! Great job!

Has traction improved with the addition of the wider wheels. My biggest complaint has been the is350 width 255 tires with no LSD.
