Well, i live in SoCal so hopefully it won't be that bad. Can you take your car through those automatic car washes without damaging the lip?

i dont do the auto carwashes. i would imagine youll be fine though. the 19inch pentas are 9.5 wide in the rear and there are many car manufacturers that use 9.5 inch factory wheels and i see those cars going through all the time.

don't do it forget the auto car washes just do it yourself, you never know you'll come out with a huge gash on your lip then you'll regret it. Buy some Mothers all wheel cleaner I use that on my volks and they're super sparkley

Wheel wax/sealant will help them stay clean as well. Keeps the brake dust from setting in.

they could be hot if you heat them up in the oven.
