Lol, yeah the car was shipped to me via UPS. Thanks guys, I know they are a somewhat popular rim but I figured if anything they would look the most appropriate on a white 94-95 Cobra . Suspension would be nice, especially since I autox but I'm a little short on $ for now so that will have to wait. I do plan on getting some subframe connectors put in very soon though.

Don't use tire shine. It bonds with the natural oil in your tire and when it washes away, it takes the natural oil with it. Dries your tires out.

I've heard that but I've also heard that it helps keep the tires moist. I dunno, lots of varying opinions out there. I've used the Armorall tire foam for years on different vehicles and haven't had any problems with cracking or anything.

Well LOL, thats probably not the first time you haven't heard of something. Alot of tire companies will void warranty if you experience tire cracking and use tire shine.

Avoid high gloss silicone dressings, which are clear. Armor All shouldn't cause cracking.

Either way its dangerous to use these products because under modest to high speed cornering it severely effects grip.
