too many clean freaks here, these are my wheels, don't need to buy cool black wheels now, anyone with blacker wheels then this

takahashi · 06-23-2009, 09:21 PM

Not too bad I will say. Could be worse.

I just clean mine but no pics

bobbynoway · 06-23-2009, 10:57 PM

I clean my wheels before they go that dirty.
The brake dust can bake into the wheels and causes pitting.

takahashi · 06-23-2009, 11:05 PM

pitting?

Timbo · 06-23-2009, 11:17 PM

I think I could give you a run for your money Beemer... I'll try to get a shot next time I remember.

pitting! phwwww.....can't see the pitting for the dust

Zuzu · 06-24-2009, 12:30 AM

It will take months and months of not washing the wheels for any pitting to occurr if any..Its just the metal fibres in the brake dust oxidising on the wheels..

jksgoh · 06-24-2009, 04:29 AM

mine use to be that bad...
but armour all wheel protectant seems to hold up pretty well.

out of curiosity, do you guys keep the inner parts of your wheels clean??? (by inner i mean the part which sits around the brakes and wheel hub)

sparoz · 06-24-2009, 04:57 AM

that's pretty clean to me.

Mine's not that bad yet, but it will be worse knowing what it was like on the E46 AND E87.

Breville · 06-24-2009, 05:40 AM

If you want to see black, you should see some picture of the e46 in the most recent Brisbane meet - they are black.

MikeVictor · 06-25-2009, 08:53 PM

My are feral at the moment with all the rain we've had here this month and it's been two weeks since I've cleaned the beast.

Detailer is booked in for tomorrow to make everything shiny again

TimMc · 06-25-2009, 09:29 PM

Who's doing your detailing Matt? I'll attempt this to some extent myself tomorrow...
My wheels get nowhere near as dirty as they did when the pads were first bedding in. I've used the Amour All successfully a few times but would rather just clean the car more often.

05C4R · 06-25-2009, 10:10 PM

forgotton how shiny the wheels are when clean

CT135 · 06-25-2009, 10:32 PM

LOL ... and that looks like the BACK wheel!
