I really don't like car washes, but let's face it, the road salt in the northeast can be really bad.

I am running the factory TRD 18 wheels and wondering whether anyone else is concerned about scraping them on the guide track in a car wash? The wheel is sort of inside out and the spokes actually protrude beyond the tire side walls when you run the 40 series tires.

I love the black wheels on my black XD and don't want to mar them. But, I'm wondering if I'm worrying about nothing. Perhaps the car wash is designed to prevent such things?
