20"s through carwash ?

[C's Bimmer]

I never have a problem with the rears on the 214's at my place. Member poleposition has the 215's on his X and no problems there either. However, our place is a fairly new system.

I use an automated hand car wash regularly for my X5 with 214s and my 2001 330i. It is a hand wash but pulls the car through on tracks. No problems or scratches on rims. I am sure the car wash I go to sees wider tires than my 20" rims (it sees a lot of high-end cars).

I hate dirty cars (and wheels), and I don't have the time or inclination to wash both cars myself once a week (or more). I also have a four day clean car guarantee at my car wash. I do tend to wash and wax the cars myself every three months or so.

Anyway, if I didn't have kids or I had a less time-demanding job, I would wash the cars myself, but washing cars is not my hobby like it once was.
