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.

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!
