Oh,
that seams a expansive order....
I don't saw them under 450 each......

Painfully expensive but I don’t want to look at modern tires for the next 7 years after doing so much work this past year. They were just under $400 each delivered here in USA.

Here is a before and after of the tires from cleaning and application of Tufshine:

The satin finish brings out the subtle details - they ooze uber-period looks and I’m excited to get these on. Meanwhile, the alpinas got a bath and await the paint stripping process that begins tomorrow:

Gosh… they look really nice to me. Obviously I am not close up but pretty nice there.
The rims are somewhat dingy after years of brake dust etc. embedding in them. If I weren't putting tires on them I would not bother repainting but it's easier to do so when tires are off.
