    The problem with that brush is that it is metal in the middle and the bristles are very short. I wouldn't use it as it would scratch the wheels.

    The wheel woolies are steep enough. Although when I refurb my wheels I'll probably buy them.

    Where are you getting them done? I've used wheel wizards in the past but I'm tempted to do these myself. I have BBS RXII'S and they're a split so I'm thinking split and paint myself with all new bolts

    I'd just about use that brush for doing the pots and pans - as pointed out, the metal spine in that will scratch the wheels, even if you are extremely careful.
