Spring is in the air, and it's time for me to get a new car. I am now thinking about selling the wheels.

Not bad tires and wheels would look even better with a little tire shine to them

Actually I've never use any tire shine on my tires, my previous experience with tire dressing is no matter how little I used it will still splatter oily goo on the side of the car. So only the "natural" tire color shows through with a clean side panel.

245/45/18 front and 275/40/18 Dunlop SP 9000 rears. I've took off the wheels now and the rear still look brand new after more than 1 years of driving! It just shows how a quality tire pays for it self even though it is expensive. One of the tire still have traces of color dye stripes when it was new. lol
