Pics Of New Wheels and Tire Care/look Help
Here are a few pics of my new wheels and tires. They seem to offer great handling and fill out the wells better.
I am interested in knowing what folks use to keep their tires new and shiny looking.
TSW Bremma. Tires are TR1.
8X18 235/40-18
9X18 265/35-18
Thanks!

To keep the tires shiny? Wash the car frequently and use tire dressing.
To keep the wheels shiny? Dishwashing soap is great (especially for polished/chrome lips or complete rims).

Dressing
Thanks for the kudos. I wasn't clear on my post but I ment tire dressing. Some seem to lose their shine quicker. And, some brands seem to pick up dirt. So I was curious what people like to use.

Good question. I've heard of people using this:

But, I've never tried it before.

Finally got wheels!
As of today, I am finally added to the list of mercedes owners with some wheels other than stock. No pics as of yet, WHY? Because I am keeping them in a safe place till my tires come in. So as of right now they are up at EF1 Motoring with my man Fabrizio...all I can give right now are that they are 19s, 2 piece whees, high polish lips with the top of the line center finish- brushed aluminum. Also have hidden valve stem. Pics will be up ASAP as I get the tires on and everything re-set. BTW the rear lip......3.25"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh almost forgot to mention- the rears are 19x10!

19x8.5 235/35/19 front
19x9.5 265/30/19 rear
is what most people run on the w203. However, you would run up to a 19x10 in the rear if the offset is correct. But you may have to roll the fender.
