Tire Shine (Wet Look)
Okay sorry if this has already been posted, but myself and a couple other rx8 owners in my area use this. It is very good and lasts for a decent time as well.

You can pick it up for like 15 bucks at autozone and its good for about 2 (separate) coats.

Not if you follow the directions. It tells you to wait at least an hour before driving. I usually apply it in the evening after washing the car. Then i know I won't be going anywhere

I personally hate tire shine, because almost all of them will sling up on the body. Waiting an hour before driving to me in unacceptable, because sometimes I just want to quickly detail something to make the right impression when I get there. Also, I hate the wet greasy artificial shine most tire shines leave.
That being said, I love mother's protectant. It's not actually a tire shine, but it will make your side walls look brand new. Just like a brand new, just delivered clean rubber tire. It's a UV protectant, which is important since I live in the desert, and it will make brown tires look black again.

I HATED the Turtle Wax black tire coat. After a few days it was turning brown and flaking a bit. I had brand new tires that I scrubbed with Blech-White before putting the tire coat on. Then I could never get the flaking tire coat completely off. It made the tires look hideous and extremely dirty. If you put this on your tires not even acetone will completely remove it from the tire.
Once it dries it is not greasy at all and feels like really soft rubber and doesnt attract dust. It looks great until the browning/flaking starts.

I use this. It goes on as a gel and comes with an applicator. No sling and being gel it last for two weeks or so, water beads on it, and the applicator allows a controlled application not to get product all over your rims. Super cheap too $7.

I'm with you in the Not a Fan of Gloss club. I use Armor All Tire Foam. Just a simple, flat black finish.
