I would clean mine with my car wash mit when I washed me car. Between washes I would use a damp microfiber cloth. If you get any stains on the lip which will happen over time you can use a liquid clay bar to remove them.

Thanks! Yeah, stock height...I'm scared it will rub and this is my DD so I don't want any issues

But I might get some springs and try at least.

Here are some more:

I'm not as suspension knowledgeable as most of the guys on here but you should be able to do a set of springs and roll your fenders and be just fine.

Looks great though..

^ Yeah, the fenders are slightly rolled and the tab has been relocated but I still don't see how it wouldn't rub

Anyway, if I decide these are the ones I want to keep I will def look to do that. I wish the fronts were 17 X 8 instead of 17 X 9 though.

Btw, why are Advans so expensive? I was looking on their site and noticed all of their wheels are cast except one. Volks go for similar pricing but aren't most of theirs forged?

its worth every penny if its something you want. took me 2 years to decide if i wanted wheels, 6 months of that was researching offset and sizing. after 10 weeks of waiting and $2k later i had them. i have yet to regret it.
