Oh my GOD!!!! That is beautiful man, that color is NICE!!! I love the wheels and lips.
As far as maintence, its not that hard, I have fully polished wheels on my project car and its not so bad. The secret is maintaining them on a regimen and not allowing brake dust to bake on the wheel after driving in the rain.
To maintain the lips pick up some Meguiars NXT all metal polish and yellow flannel clothes. After washing with soap and water, apply NXT with a damp spronge applicator, dont rub harder for tough spots, just longer. Apply to all lips if you like, or go one at a time.
Use 2 flannel cloths, 1 to remove excess 1 to buff
Heres a nighttime pic, the NXT protects the wheels and gives them a warm glow (IMO)
Daytime pic, they look even better when you layer it

well here are some pics i took today since it wasnt raining. Keep in mind my car was rained on so its dirty....so are the wheels. Thats why the lip doesnt look so shiny. Also, the wheels kinda look plain in pictures, but in person, they look way better. You cant see the detail or finish in the pictures
