    Chrome wheels, Hankook tires... yuk.

    Ugh, I would not like to clean those either as I'd jam my fingers everytime trying to get in between the spokes. No thanks.

    Not to mention ridiculously now profile tires

    Ack...

    Chrome + 100 spokes = LOSE. EVERY. TIME.

    Totally agree...although I also believe that chrome wheels should be abolished altogether...

    i like the style, but would like the overall package better in alloy. and, yeah, it would take about 5 minutes per rim to get those babies clean.

    IMO. Don't like the style and the cleaning would give me an headache.

    I like the aesthetics of them but agree that washing them would be a pain.

    Nothing wrong with Hankook tyres if you get the right ones.

    I'm especially concerned by how much the spokes of the wheel seem to protrude. Looks like a sure recipe for lots of curb scrapes. I've had chrome wheel and enjoyed them when they're inset from the tire.

    >Nothing wrong with Hankook tyres if you get the right ones.< While you may be right, how do we know which one is the "right one?" I bought a set of Kuhmo KR-21 because of positive reviews on Tire Rack. Immediately after installing them, I was horrified by how terrible they were. No traction. A few months later I took a loss on them and got a set of Micheline Primacy MXV4, which were terrific. I will always stick to Continental, Michelin and Bridgestone.

    Another reason I went out of my way to avoid the Technology Package/Limited.

    I have them on my Cadenza. Under a minute to clean. All gaps wide enough for a towel wrapped finger.
