When I was in Spartanburg for the M5 EXP. an insrructor gave me a ride to the hotel. His first name is Ben. I can't remember his last name. He said that the performance center had a vendor who could repair the wheels. It's worth a try. If I needed wheel repair I would call the performance ctr and track him down.
I have a good auto car wash that I have always taken all my cars to, including Jags and BMWs. I prefer to wash by hand, but ther are times I can't. I have never had any problems with this car wash in the 20 years I have been going there, and their equipment is continually upgraded and well maintained.

Will the low-profile wheels get hurt or scratched in the tracks? This is my only concern other than increased swirling on the dark paint, which I think I can overcome with frequent waxing and care.

Have you ever taken your M5 to an auto car wash that pushes it down a track through the wash? Thanks.
