What product did you use on your tires? I have 18x10 fronts and 19x11.5 on the rear with the same type tire.

I used Black Magic Tire Wet Foam, but then spent about half an hour on each wheel getting it off the wheels.

I use the Adam's Polishes VRT (Vinyl Rubber Tire). The best stuff in the Adam's Polishes lineup in my opinion and it's all I use. It's not oil based so if you get it on the rims, paint, windows, etc it simply wipes off without leaving any streaks, or residue. The stuff is awesome and is so easy to use. I highly recommend it.

You can't go wrong with a set of CCWs. They look great on your car.

You know,a while ago I did a poll about these wheels and how many actually have them...........and surprisingly enough,it was not nearly as common as some would believe
I think I got up to @ 30 sets before the thread self-destructed

There are a lot of corvettes out there , does that make them awful too?, just because there are many of them?

I think not.........
