Take heed.....the 6.2L V8 is going the way of the dinosaurs. Even the mighty 'Vette will likely see V6 power soon. Sad because AFM on my A6 SS2 nets me about 22 mpg.

I found cleaning the inner rim surface and then using a synthetic based product there helps keep the dirt off. When the inner surface is clean, it really makes the spokes pop.
