20" Lariat wheels
I have finally decided on a Lariat after 'talking' myself out of a STX, XLT and then a FX4. Anyway, I want to go with the 20" wheels, but I feel like the chrome ones add more chrome than I would like (I was really pushing for the FX4, but the Boss wanted chrome, so we compromised 
). So, finally to my question, I was wondering how hard are the machined aluminum ones to keep clean? Is the aluminum 'sealed' with anything? Thanks.

FYI those 20's are heavy. They sap your gas milage. For instance My dad and I both have 4x4 Lariat's with the 5.4 and same rear ends. He has 18's with 285's and gets 18mpg highway. I have the 20's with 275's and I am lucky if I get 15mpg highway. The only difference is the tires/wheels and miles on the trucks. His has more miles.
