Looks good, but pretty dark up front. Are you still legal?

Love the wheels by the way.

Looks great, but I hope you don't do much driving at night.

FSETH - Thanks... no, I'm not legal. The front door windows need to be 35% to be legal. I really LOVE these wheels too! Cleaning them, on the other hand, SUCKS!

I have given up on any sort of brush to clean mine. I just throw a small microfiber towel in the bucket and wipe mine down by hand. I swear it is just as fast and does a better job.

Phil has all sorts of great wheel brushes on his site (detailers domain), I bought a conical shaped brush a few years ago and it works great. Need a new one soon.

I got a wheel cleaning brush a few years ago from Phil (Detailer's Domain), but I don't see it on his site anymore. It works great, but I'm just not a fan of cleaning my wheels every few days.

I bought one like this from Phil a while back and it does not work very well on my e46M.
However, it works well on wheels with wider spacing in the spokes. Thread hyjack over.

Those bristles look rough.

This is pretty close to the one that I have:

That's the one i have Seth. Needs to be replaced now, and you have to be careful of the hard wire/looped end. He has soft spongy wheel brushes now, i'm going to check those out.

Hijack over
