They are about the same as the Draglites as far as polishing them. If you don't want to keep them up then I suggest you get chrome. Polished aluminum is polished aluminum. (Although these are more finely polished than Draglites).04sleeper How hard are these to keep clean.. I am sure my car is driven more than yours... I remember having draglites in the day and they were a pain to clean and keep clean. I would hope that these wheels would not be like that..
