Thanks! Thats the new Borla Dual tip exhaust that i just had installed. Those are the polished aluminum rims that came as an option on the vette. I use Meguiars Hot Shine Tire spray, not the foaming stuff, i love how it goes on like spray paint, its almost like your painting the tires a gloss black. What i do so i don't get run off spraying all over the sides of the car, is i clean the car and tires first of course 
, then go for a short drive in the neighborhood to blow the water out of the seals, then spray the hot shine on and let that set while i dry the car off. Of course, after i spray the tires i let the car roll back so i don't miss that little bit thats at the bottom of the tire on the driveway . After i finish drying the car, the tires look soaking wet! Then i take a rag and hit all the little grooves on the side wall, going in and out from the rim, then wipe the side walls. I usually pull it back in the garage and let it set awhile, then before i drive it, i wipe the tires the exact same way again. What you see is the final product with no run off. If you don't wipe the tires like this, you will have a mess all over the sides of your Vette!
