Default C50 Wire Spoke Wheel questions

I plan on getting a C50 in a few weeks. A buddy of mine was telling me that Wire Spoke Wheels are a real maintenance headache with constant cleaning, hand polishing of each steel spoke rod and regular tightening and truing of the spokes. Has anyone found this to be the case? The Wire Spoke Wheels is one of the many things I prefer on the C50 to other bikes such as the M50 or the other makes I have been looking at.
