Question Are 84-85 GN wheels Easier to keep clean than the 87T wheels?

question for hot air owners. I just hate my T wheels cause they're always dirty and hard as $hit to clean.
So are the GN wheels easier because they are painted???

My stock '86 GN wheels were clear coated.

Be careful, that little white Regal next to you has slicks for a reason.

The GN wheels are easier due to the paint. Personally, I like the looks better without the paint. My dad's 86 T-type is not bad, just find the right aluminum cleaner and they look brand new with little to no scrubbing.
