Eh. If you wash them and tire shine them after you go off-roading it’s completely fine. I’m just too damn lazy and don’t care about that wet look 24/7. To achieve that you need to tire shine once a month at least…

These falkens are after a 4 hour washboard dusty trip.. just never cared to wash them.

Oh and just to show you, I actually just cleaned my falkens to store them away haha. Coincidence!

Reminds me of when friends of mine never clean their glock(cause you don’t have to) and then they complain about how much dust and carbon accumulated.. well duh!
But did you clean the backsides? :p:cool::LOL:;)

I am really bummed out right now... well not really. Buddies said they are going to the dunes to go riding tonight... I just switched out my Falkens :headbang: I might just go in the hankook's but probably not. The gf wants to spend some time with me today, stressful week for her.

I see. Very interesting to hear the differences on how to achieve this wheel. So it's either have the sports appearance package on and purchase for $895 or custom order a vehicle and they force you to slap on the sport appearance package for $900 if you want to add an additional $895 to upgrade to 18 in machined alum wheel with mag pockets from the original 17 magnetic gray wheels. I think I got that right...
That's about right. In 2019 the Lariat came with 18" wheels. The Sport pkg changed that to 17's with magnetic pockets. It was then an additional charge for 18" wheels with magnetic pockets, which I opted to. Seemed crazy to have to pay again to get 18's back on a Lariat.

Such a weird system honestly. Wish they made it simpler to purchase products but their marketing team decided, "hey lets make them purchase other things if they want this thing" So odd.
