My 20" BBS CI-R's came out of hibernation today... The wheels were coated with Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour back in 2020... the coating is still holding up well but thought it was time for a top up as they say it only lasts 2-3 years.

I spent some time this afternoon wiping them down with panel wipe and then replied some more C5. They recommend 12 hours of cure time indoors before putting them back on. I'm a big fan of Gtechniq products as they are very easy to work with and very forgiving if you happen to have any high spots.

Tyres are down to 4mm. I will look to change them later this year. Still waiting for the Michelin PS4S replacements to be released (Pilot Sport S 5 - the new naming convention from Michelin) in the 245 and 275 BMW sizes. They seem to only have released them for Porsche cars at the moment 🤷🏽‍♂️
