a little maintenance yearly chore
every year I decided to rotate my tires from side to side(I have continental 3 tires, non-directional tires so that can be changed from side to side) and clean the inner rims with polish to prevent grimes and other craps that can ruin my rims. The center caps can also be polished
after using the wheel cleaner I applied the polish and buffed it out with the powerball
those who owned the spoon sports diffuser must removed it to jack the car from the differential
this is the result after the polished applied and removed, I have the rims for over 2 years and with once a year maintenance it looks like new.
Thanks Mike from evasivemotorsports.com for friendly service with the buy

eek, no wheel chucks or jack stands?!?! don't you know an active s2ki member recently died because he wasn't using wheel chucks?!
There's no need for jack stands to pull off a wheel if you're not going under the car.

Jack stands aren't just for your safety. Anytime you're center jacking especially when whatever you're doing involves removing the wheels, you really need to be using jack stands. Unless of course you're ok with bouncing your diff off the pavement.
Rims look great though

ya are all right about the jack stands. I had 2 jack stands placed under the tomioka racing ramps before I removed the rims. But for some unknown reasons when I was taking the pics I removed the 2 jack stands and placed back in the tomioka racing ramps. I must have thought that the wheels were already mounted to the car and it was ready to be dropped down. I just made a bad example ,regardless, when the car is off the ground the jacked stands must be placed in for personal safety and prevent rear subframe from damage if the jack failed and the car dropped down. Even though I/you is/are nowhere near the car.
