Unexpected bonus with 19 inch Alloys

Featured Replies

I know that the 19 inch alloy wheels are unpopular with some owners due to the lower profile tyres that they are fitted with. However there is an advantage of the 19 inch wheels over the smaller sizes when it comes to cleaning them. There is good clearance around the brake discs, even the larger  front discs. I'm able to get my hand, holding a sponge, in between the 'spokes' of my Vega Alloys to clean the whole of the inside rim including the inside edge. As someone who tries to keep their alloy wheels clean without any brake dust baked on the inside of the rims this is a real bonus. It will save me having to remove each wheel in turn every few months for cleaning.

Would it not be easier to just use a long brush 🤣

 

I’ve got the 18” Bragas and even I’ve got plenty of clearance to shove it right through to give them a proper clean from time to time.

Yes it’s easy to use a brush too. My previous car had 16” alloys, our Fabia has 15” alloys - the 19” are so much easier to clean.
