Got my 18" OZ SLs yesterday. They look great on the car - much better in person than in pics, IMO

Raining like hell today, but should hopefully have pics this weekend.
The Race Silver color is really nice on Dolphin!

Hello my twin brother! :) What tires have you got?
I find my Falkens sticky enough that a lot of sand and dirt gets kicked up and deposited onto the rim between spokes... So yeah, as paul said below, a PITA to clean :P

Falken 512s. Hopefully not as sticky as yours!
Are they really that bad to clean? I always found the OEM ones to be a PITA due to how tight it was getting a wash mit inside the rim. Looks like way more room now.
Or is it all the added spokes that are hard to keep clean?

It's all the corners where spokes meet rim...
12 spokes and 24 corners where brake dust/sand is hard to reach... On the Avant wheels the "corners", if you can even call them that, are very accessible for cleaning.
At least there's no wide spoke faces for brake dust to land on to make the wheel look extra dirty :P

Will post some up. Thanks for your help with them too!
BTW - The place that I picked them up from mentioned that they were the best packaged wheels they had ever seen.
And I had to agree!
Thanks again!
