Sport wheels thru carwash

dawudih · 01-28-2012, 11:11 AM

Will an automated carwash (the kind that pulls your car through) damage the Sports package wheels since they are wider than the base model wheels? It never harmed my base wheel set, but I think they were narrower.

I wouldn't even let someone else wash my Z, let alone take it through an automated wash. It is a $30K+ car. But to answer your question, I don't think the sport wheels stick out much further than the standard wheels. I'm sure SUVs an pick-ups have no problems getting washed through those things.
