No, they are not impossible to keep clean. They require attention but with the Mothers Powerball and Mr. Buffer polish, that is just not a problem any more. No stress cracks from track or street use.
They are the lighest wheel you will find for Cobras.
My experience, also.

Mine are probably 25 years old - not sure, but are in good shape.

Cleaning? Well, after discovering Mr. Buffer as discussed on these threads, plus Powerball - that job has reduced the experience to only slightly irritating. The secret appears to be using Mr. Buffer every week or so.

Also, it's beyond me how a new process using real magnesium can produce a product that stays shiny - magnesium seems to be like rust - it's alive and never rests.
