Check em out!

I have had them on the car for a couple months now actually, and tore up the 25% tread BFGs that came with them too damn quick (alignment fux0red) but the car hadnt been washed in about as long. I just gave it the Meguiars 4 step deep crystal treatment and finally took the pics. It looms ok considering I did a half assed job with the cleaning.

I hate shiny tires too

go to your local riteaid, and steal yourself some shoe polish. it gives your tires a rich black color... but be careful when your 'shining' your tires... if it gets on the rims, it stains it.

Spacers needed? What's the offset on the Cobra wheels? They look great, almost OEM-style.

No tire shine for me!

gets ruined too quick the way I drive... I like the au natural look!

The paint is original, but in person it looks not nearly so good. many dents, dings, scratches, and it genneraly looks neglected. I will go out in a couple months and probably do multiple applications of each step, but for now I just wanted it clean.

The Cobra rims needed no spacers, I want to say the offset is 32mm, but dont quote me on that. Hubcentric rings are recommended, but I have yet to get them. One thing, when the 245/45 BFGs were on they rubbed in the rear pretty bad until I rolled my fenders, but shortly after I rolled them I got the 235/45 Kumhos which would have been ok.

And of course I reccomend the eibachs for anyone who cares about handling more than looks!
