I was leaning towards a gunmetal/ graphite. The silver ignition is such an awesome color but damn does it make matching other colors to it difficult.

No, max inflation on a tire sidewall is max until possible failure. There are tables available that can tell you suggested psi, It will probably be a similar with those tires, but I couldn't tell you off the top of my head

with this set up and the "a lot " more grip what power #'s are you running? is it still stock? im just curious bc the extra grip may come in handy and balance out a little with more power added

...sweet pics btw

stock engine. more grip is a priority to me over more power for now. yes, of course i'd like to have a little more power in the street, freeway etc, but when driving in the canyons, i've never had the need for more power in a curve. more grip yes, but not more power.
driving a big track would be different and i can definitely see the want for more power in the straights. it all depends on what you want to do with the car.

no i understand...i just wanted to know because as you increase the power you need more grip, and with this set up i think it would be a good balance of grip to power to allow for a little tail wagging now an then ...thanks
