I'm in the same boat as you. I'm also looking at the MT Classic II; however, I've been told by several people that you have to really maintain the wheel or it will get blotches and fade pretty quick. I've searched the internet for an answer, but most places just tell me to keep them polished. Now, I've heard that this goes for any polished wheel that isn't coated, but I'm still trying to get more info. I hope that I didn't discourage you from the MT Classic II. I hope that anyone else with an opinion or actual hands-on experience will share their problems (or lack of problems).

thats what I have heard also, but I dont mind to polish the wheels every so often if it keeps them looking good, I cant find another wheel that I like. after I decide on my wheel then I got to go through the mess of finding a road worthy 35x12.50 but I must say I do enjoy the research

I bought the classic IIs for my Tundra two years ago. I waxed the heck out of them all Fall only to have one winter fade and "blacken" the finish by Spring. No amount of polishing brought them back. Perhaps in a warmer climate they'd hold up, but don't for one minute think they will be salt friendly! I was really disappointed.

I use mothers rim polish for this kind of finish. I have done plenty of mag wheels on semi's and the fastest way is to use the ball on the end of a drill.

I have had mine on for a year now and they still look great.
I have only polished them once.





Just so you know it is not a mall crawler
