Looks great steve!

One question, what lug nuts are you running? I would like to pick up an aftermarket set, but mostly every set have the wrong shaped seat for OEM type S wheels.

Matt, another AcuraZine member found those for me about a year ago on EBAY. They were less than $35 for the set, but they have no locking lug nut.

I'll try to find the link for them for you. They are a ball seated lug nut!

The tire shine looks awesome! I think I may give this a tryout myself. Will be cool to see how the different climates affect the tire shine's durability.

I didn't get any pictures today (Sunday) or yesterday-busy weekend. I'll shoot some tomorrow.

It seems like the rear tires hold their shine better than the fronts.....FWD????

Brake dust? Maybe it will wash of and reveal the shine.

Dude, they still look pretty wet, Steven. And i bet it's like Zaino, the more you coat it, the more it'll stack on itself and look deeper and wetter and (ok, let's not get carried away...)
