Shouldn't do if you keep on top of them. I often just wash my wheels in between washes and it seems to do the trick.

They will be if you don't keep on top of the washes and keep up the protection,
Layer up your protection and wash them on a regular basis and you'll be fine,
If they are staying on the car during winter the above is even more important due to salt being used on the roads.

Nice rims btw! Look nice on the mk3.
