New wheels (XDEEDUBBX old Volks)

Finally got around to waxing the 8 and detailing the wheels so I could take some pics. As the title says, these are XDEEDUBBX old Volk TE-37 wheels. Details of the wheels spec. can be found within this thread https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/deedubbs-new-wheels-%3D-88173/ Enjoy the pics!

Yeah I used spray. My experiences with gel have been quite messy. What particular product do you use?

he posts sexy Volks and all you can think of is the tire shine??

Sexy looking car, AWESOME looking wheels!! I think these are perfect on a Silver. Nicely done man
I like the up close picture of the wheels where you can see the upgraded rotors, the silver painted calipers, AND the reflection of a truck off part of your wheel. Nice and SHINY!!

Yeah that's the problem with spray, but it's very simple and clean to apply. Doesn't require any applicator pads and the Blackmagic spray I use has 3 spray options so you can narrow the width of the spray which is perfect for low profile tires.

as for the gel tire shine, I hate it because it turns brown. I use this:
