not hard to source imho
upkeep -- the polished lip is a pain to keep clean but other than that no real issue... that being said I am not a concours type of cleaner... I wash quickly track days and pay metro detail for a "major" detail once or twice a year depending on need.
I was advised on E88 that if I want to make the polished lip of the e88 easier to keep clean that I should have it clear coated etc...
I drove them on the track and the street with no issue

why buy a bbs looking wheel thats not made by bbs. If you want colours get it painted after you buy it. Gold is avalible from HERE
I was told any colour you want. Quick turn around times and bbs quality is second to none. Were talking about the BEST wheels for the same price. Holy grail of wheels

Keep in mind that the Vintage wheels are not considered lightweight track wheels. If you are looking for a lightweight track wheel offering from HRE, take a look at the R40 Series or C90 Series or CL Series.
For a stylistic wheel, that is what the Vintage Series is about. HRE's brand is top tier and we separate ourselves from BBS in that we offer custom finishes and spec/offsets that are not available from BBS and OZ. Also keep in mind, it is very difficult to get many BBS wheels at the moment due to their source/supply. We currently are averaging 3 week build times.
If you are looking for a lightweight wheel for street/track use, I would recommend the new P40SC Conical Series. We weighted a 20x10 at 22 lbs. Dropping down to 19" would be lighter.

I'm a big fan of the 501s. Well done.
