I have seen this before when deciding if I needed that brush but Nah, I force a microfiber towel in with my digits, but I don't have those nightmare wheels.
Calipers and 18" wheels but still tight on E84.

In the video he makes it work on the 666s.

I just use an EZ detail brush large for drum work, behind the spokes and rotor hat.
I put a new coat of CQUK3 every 6 months on wheels swap and use Akebono pads so I really dont have to try to hard cleaning my 7 split spoke wheels

27 minutes to wash a single wheel is insane!

Washed the MB wheels for the first time today using a pressure washer, Brake Buster and a boars hair brush. I couldn't even get to the barrel of the rim to clean it. Not even using a long wheel whoolie.
My hands wouldn't fit beyond the spokes.
It would take a long time to clean these wheels the way I do the BMW wheels. Even then, I don't think I could get them that clean. You would have to take the wheels off the car to clean them properly. I'm certainly not doing that.
They are ceramic coated. I'll have to have them ceramic coated every year.
I didn't order the car with those wheels. I knew better. The car was already configured by the dealer.
What a disappointment.
Despite being glossy, the M340i wheels are a piece of cake to clean compared to these.

Holy crap! A sadist must've designed those MB wheels. Too many faces and corners!

I have decided to move on from the M2.

Not solely bc of this.

Got a great deal on the trade. Got 91% of MSRP on the trade after nearly 2 years.
