Most likely order them by the end of next month. They will be on the car as soon as the roads clear up

I still have to decide on what I'm doing with tires. Spend like 700 and get falkens or spend 1400-1500 and get michelin ps2's... ughhhh

I hear ya, the way I feel is that if you are not going to use the rubber to it's maximum potential then don't bother spending the extra cash. I've been pretty happy with my relatively inexpensive Kuhmo's. If the tires provide enough grip for what you intend on doing, as well as giving you a decent daily driving experience get the cheaper ones.

I'm not sure if the falkens can handle it. They were perfect on vw but I had half the hp and I never drove it aggresively. Supposedly the ps2's have great tread wear too.

Anyways saw another pic of the gunmetal

either the Lineas or the 701s in matte black. If it were me I'd go with the 701s, with the black grill they'll look amazing.

Man those wheels are nice.... My vote is Silver for the F14s. I'd also go with the Falken tires.... can you really justify the extra $700+ for the ps2's? With how you drive the car, or how you should drive the car legally... then I really dont think you would get your money's worth to justify the double price tag IMHO

Yeah I think I'm ordering them, probably going to be gunmetal unless I see another white 335 with silver that can change my mind
