Does anyone of you guys have any experience with liquid black wheels? Due to some delivery complications I got the M464 wheels in liquid black mounted on my car. It is temporary, I originally ordered the M434. What worries me with those liquid black ones is if they are a nightmare to maintain in good shape. The high gloss surface might show small imperfections (scratches and stone chips) more than the ferric grey M434? Any one with experience that can help with some thoughts?

Here are some pics (bottom are the M434 i found with google):

Looks stunning Isturbointeg

How difficult are they to maintain nice and shiny versus "standard" aluminum wheels?

THANKS! Just with any other wheels they do get dirty but i only used soap and water to clean them and than just a Meguire's Detailer to keep them nice and shiney. i stayed away from the chrome polishes even tho these are somewhat of a chrome finish. but you do spend more time cleaning them vs the regular silver finishes.

Thanks for your answer! I don't think the cleaning will bother me as long as it doesn't get more visible scratches more easily than other wheels. I clean my car often anyway

i always use a new micro fiber towel when polishing the wheels. you could also use a wheel wax to prevent some of the brake dust from sticking as well as the wheel staying clean for longer periods
