Interesting looking neighborhood too, what part of CA you in?
I'm not looking forward to cleaning all the brake dust off at all, to be honest. That said it doesn't look too hard, as everything is clearcoated and anodized, whcih means it just needs a scrub down with car wash soap as opposed to polishing etc.

And this is around the Covina area.

signal_jp: I got the Tom's kit from Carson. Apparently they kept a HUUUUGE stock after I received mine and started selling them like crazy... you should ask them if they have any more for immediate delivery.

r6z9r: Thanks man, You still have to tell me how you like them Tanabes!

I'm SO glad you got these.. I've been eyeing these wheels for the longest time wondering what they'd look like and I love them on your car

One of the nicest GFM on CL. You're definitely the first with the Weds Bellona. I'm eyeing on the Work Varianza SC1s. Will be getting them hopefully in time for spring 2008. Pictures will follow.

very nice, justin, good to see those wheels on finally. and i don't even get a thank you for all the pm's and info? sigh, you don't have to pm me on any further questions now...

cleaning the wheels are easy, i never have problem cleaning any of my jdm wheels, even the mesh. just make sure you don't curb them, or you can pretty much kiss them goodbye coz' you can't re-do anodize

acl15: I couldn't find ANYONE on CL with these rims! I definitely took a chance with these rims but they look fantastic, even better in person. You will be very happy with them also, if you don't mind cleaning so many spokes ;]

dappy: Thanks for the kind words! The Works are very nice wheels too, sort of similar style. Can't wait to see your car done!!

rominl: <3 <3 :]

Buds: Thank you sir for the double compliment!

So one month in with these wheels, and they've taken a few big, BIG potholes with no apparent damage. I've still yet to get spacers, since I am lazy. And cleaning these design rims are a PAIN. Still, they are worth it. Also, I've found myself using my old, useless California duster to brush the brake dust off my wheels (especially the front ones) between weekly washes. Anyone know if this is bad? I figure it is just as bad for the wheels as it is for the car. Given, I don't use the duster for the car anymore.

Also, my rear lip seems to have picked up a hairline scratch ALL THE WAY AROUND the rim. Seems like maybe a rock decided to chill on the lip and go around a few times or something. Any ideas to fix it?

Sick car, love the wheels. Love the Tom's Kit in white. That diffuser is just simply outstanding.
