Question Machined wheels?

Do any of you guys have experience with machined wheels? I am looking at getting a set of Status Knight 10s for my Mag and I was wondering how hard wheels with machined pieces are to clean and maintain opposed to painted and chrome wheels. The wheels I want have a gloss black lip and a machined face, I think they will look great but I just want some advice and opinions on these types of wheels. Here is a link to the wheels I'm talking about.

I'd be very surprised if the "bare" part was not clear-coated. Almost standard, even for the cheap Chinese crap!

Will the machined part be easy to maintain and clean? I don't want like a gunmetal look either, I hope it is a little lighter than in the picture.

He is saying that the wheels will have a protective clear coat on them which will make them no harder to keep clean than any other wheel, even if they are from China. Those look like Civic wheels, lol.

Sorry man, dont want to offend you but they really look the euro part in my opinion, but hey if you like em go for it. I like em too, I just personally dont like the way euro style rims look on american cars. Plymouth Prowler rims would look cool...hot rod magnum!

What is the "euro style look"? I have never heard that before, I actually saw these wheels in person on a 300C and they looked great, they are exactly like the wheels I have now except mine now are black with a chrome lip. They are not European wheels, whatever that means.
