Thank you, sir. Cheap-o Starke SC19 fuchs replicas from Tire Rack. I think they only have the gunmetal versions left in stock but they are on clearance.

Thanks. Looks like Tire Rack only has the 11" width available now. 9" out of stock.

They look good on your car.

Wow, that turned out great! I've heard good and bad stories about using magic erasers on leather. Some YouTube videos I've watched say to absolutely NOT use a magic eraser on leather. Yet, I tried one of the less invasive techniques (horse hair brush with leather cleaner) and while it helped a little bit with the shine of my leather, it's still nowhere like new and still has a quite a bit of shine.

Curious if any of the die was removed when you used the magic eraser? Did you see any sand beige color on the eraser when you were done with it? I might have to give this a try.

I used a name brand magic eraser soaked in water and went really lightly. There was no sand beige on the eraser at all, just dirt and oil.

Awesome. Thanks for the confirmation. I have some magic erasers and have had great luck using them on scuffed door sills as well. I'm going to have to give this a try this weekend.

Put on a second coat of wax, detailed engine bay, cleaned air filters, buffed the glass, cleaned the wheels, cleaned and waxed the brake calipers.

HREs and Michelins arrived today. Waxing the wheels later. Tires get put on tomorrow. Ceramic coating the wheels on Monday once the kit arrives. Acer Racing Ti bolts whenever they arrive.
