rivets =
Never really a fan of the C6 Z06 wheels, but whatever makes you happy is all that matters. I say try the Spyders from 6L designs, you don't see them much.

17 x 9.5 up front with hankook 275's.
rears are 18 x 10.5 with nitto 555r's. 305-40-18. This is a 28" tire.
dont get rivets. They are ugly as **** when they are fake...
I am actually selling the wheels/tires. Looking to get $1400 shipped for them. front tires have 75% tred and the rears have 150 miles on them. I just paid $600 for both nitto's....

Looks expensive for just a 16 oz. bottle, but it goes a long way. It's one of my favorite Adams products.

Tire shine sucks! Try out Adams Super VRT! Awesome stuff. Doesn't sling and dries to the touch. No greasy look or feel to them. Leaves the tire nice and dark!

Yeah, its call tire wet.
Goes on nice, shines up well and lasts.
Just spray it on then use a foam applicator to spread it around.
That way it won't fling off.
If you let it sit for an hour, it will not come off.
I use Westley's Bleche white 1st to clean the rubber.
It preps the tire real nice before you shine er up.

I have never tried the foam tire shine though, the kind you spray on and let sit. Not sure how it works, you might try that if you want, but ultimately I think you'll find that Adams Super VRT and Zaino's tire dressings are probably the 2 best on the market.

I have tried the tire shine foam and the tire shine stuff you put on with a squeegee. It seem's no matter how dry you make the tires after putting it on, it still ends up down the side of the car.
