Very, very nice VJ - congrats. Have you washed them yet? Wondering how easy they are to wash compared to the stock wheels.

Haven't washed them yet but they are likely easier than the stock wheels. The spokes are more spread out and all corners are rounded.

Brake dust is as brake dust was. I'll switch to different pads when my pads need changing but I ususally clean the brake dust off every 2-3 days or so. If you don't let it accumulate it only takes about 5 min per wheel to keep them clean.

Was wondering what you guys are running for tire pressure with the 275/30/19? I'm trying to balance getting a comfortable ride but inflating enough to help protect wheels

I was running 38-39 and went to 42 yesterday. Car seems to actually ride better now. At least in my local area they have done a pretty good job getting roads in decent shape. Will get a better feel with a couple longer drives the next two weeks, Staggered tomorrow and Dustoff next week. You hitting Dustoff?

Actually.....after a couple of weeks I feel like brake dust does not accumulate as much on the HRE's as they do on the stock wheel.

I am also still amazed at the incredible workmanship and details in these wheels. They are truly works of art and I can see why they cost as much as they do. While they certainly look hot all around, when you get up close and see the fine finishwork, you realize that replicas are just no substitute for the real thing
