Wouldn't want to clean those suckers very often.

I like the wheels. Those flush door handles are awesome.

you are right, White calipers give it away.

I dig them so far. Would like to see how concave they are before I can make a firm decision. .

Those are very similar to my RS Spyder wheels and I can tell you that they are a royal pain to clean. I really do like them though.

Then you would have hated the original 3 spoke Viper wheels...easiest wheels I have ever had to clean.

While similar, those aren't the RS Spyder wheels.

And I'm with the posters above, I think they look awful. Two of the three wheel combinations they've shown so far for the 992 are terrible, but the third, those new 5 spokes, is awesome.

Yep. Hideous.

But if easy cleaning is your thing... why stop at 3 spokes??

This is how I survive my RS Spyder wheels. Don't know how it works, but I can go a month between cleanings and they still look cleaner than after one day of driving before using it

Someone else here recommended it and I tried it on my wife's SUV that has silver painted wheels and so far so good; almost no brake dust since I applied it on Aug. 18th. Next up I will rinse them with a hose when more noticeable brake dust appears and if that does not work I will wash them and see if the product still works as it initially did.

As I understand it, once you wash or they get wet, you have to reapply. The one time I have cleaned mine since the initial application it was much easier to clean them however.

My wife has driven in the rain several times since I applied it and it did seem to affect it.
