Dunlop SP9000 + Rays Lugs + Debadge in progress

I washed the car yesterday but it is already dirty. With that being said:

I have had my new dunlop 255/35 19 and 285/30 19 on for about a week. Prior to the dunlops, i ran Bridgestone S03 245/35 19 and 275/35 19. I was always a little disappointed in the Bridgestones and PS2's seemed to be sold out so i figured i would try the dunlops. I definitely like the bite and feedback form these dunlops better but i would not call it a head to head comparison since they are a different size from the bridgestones.

I am pretty sure i can fit 265/30 in th front and very sure i can get 295/30 in the back next time i get tires. I am sitting on Tein Flex btw. -1" all the way around.

I got my new Rays lugnuts from Jeff at evolution and ran out to put them on. I really like the blue on blue. Next i think i will get my calipers powdercoated to match so i dont have so many colors on the G. I will probably get my wheels powdercoated black as well. They are gunmetal now if the pics dont show it well. I think the black powder coat will look good if i go with a little tint. I think it will create a black on blue theme and be a more unified look.

I started the debadge yesterday but ran out of light. I was a little skeptical at first but i really want as clean a look as possible. I have ordered the Gallia grill to get rid of the nasty chrome one to help enhance the clean look. I still have to get rid of the "INFINITI" but i think it looks better already. I still need to "goo b gone" a couple of spots and wax/polish when i am all done.

here are some pics

SP9000's are a couple steps backwards vs S03's in terms of performance.

I know cause I ran SP9000's on my Cooper-S and i was not impressed..took them
off after a few thousand miles...their older SP8000's were much better tires in
terms of performance.
