Yeah it would be pretty hell to clean tight spaces with 90 degree bends in them, so hard to get into the corners, unless you have nice small brushes.

Found a pic!

The thing with wheels, the more often you clean them the easier it is to keep them in good condition and as such easy to clean...

Thats VERY true! once you use a nice acid to clean all the nooks and crannies its easy to keep clean once every two weeks

Put a spin on this....

What are the easiest to clean?

In my case it's the older "disc" AMG wheels on my merc, takes like 5 seconds and you don't need a brush unless you want to clean inside the AMG logo which I only have to do every third time.

I would say the E46 17'' Motorsport mag is a nightmare to clean..
anything worse?


Yep, its kak to wash these rims

used to be hah but now i use my 8 year old daughter with her cute little hands for that:thumbs:
it does cost me R2.50 a wheel though:=):

thats so funny

at the looks of things the E46 M3 wheels are terrible, even the old box 3 series.. Who remember those E46 318i rims (1999 - 2000) ? it had like 15 circles ..? haha

Had these rims on my ex 318 and can vouch that it is indeed a PITA

I think it would have to be the Merc C-Class Sport pack mags are by far the easiest.

Yep, I agree these 14" rims on the E30 where a pain to clean, lost skin on the fingers trying to get these clean.

i think the E36 Motorsport 2 rims (radial styling) where crazy to clean. :argh: These came on the e39 as well as a staggered setup.

It is a nice rim though just a pita to clean.

Best brush to use would be to steal your baby's bottle cleaner. Worked wonders when I still had the Lenzo Eagle on my E30. Unfortunately there's nothing that can substitute time when it comes to cleaning wheels.:sorry:

The style 65 are tricky to do! Takes me longer to do the rims than it takes to do the whole car.

I got the 17inch reps of these rims & the guy who washes my car complains.... then again he also complains about the e46 M3 reps as well :roflol:
