x2^ it all depends the desing of the rim also, if you have a rim thats difficult to get into and the spokes 4sure you'll feel some pain.

I use poorboys wheel sealant. Worked great on my old chrome welds. I didnt apply enough coats to my intros tho because i just wanted to put them on.

beauty is pain, but work smarter....not harder.

take them off, roll some stock ones for a week, really, REALLY clean those bishes up and have them coated.
i know powder coatin usually cost what 50 a rim? thats if they are prep and ready to go!

turtle wax paste every other wash. wipe on, wipe off and the road grime and water will bead off for the most part.
