RSR finish
A question for anyone who has RSR finish wheels, particularly those done by Mr. Weidman: are these easy to keep clean, or are they a real pain, especially with brake dust and the like.

NO, not easy to keep clean. You have to vaseline the hell out of them to keep the brake dust suspended so you can was them clean or they stain.

I asked Mr. Weidman this exact question last month at German AutoFest. He thinks they're pretty easy to clean. Whatever detergent/soap you're using for the rest of the car can be used on the wheels; if it's gentle enough for the paint, it's OK for the wheels. Just make sure they're not hot when you wet them down. I didn't ask him about vaseline/brake dust, though. I live in a dry area, though, so I'm not regularly getting brake dust-encrusted wheels wet very often.
