I decided to go bigger/better on rims and tires. As soon as my rotors show up (!) and I install them, I'll post some photos.

Ended up going with Falken 452's after reading every review of UHP tires I could find. The BMW and Audi forums seem to like them. 235/35X19's and 275/30X20's. All 4 delivered for $720. I REFUSE to pay $300+ for a tire. It doesn't say "Boeing" on the side of this vehicle!

They ride really great and are silent. A little more sidewall flex, but I don't race. A vast improvement over the stock Conti's.

And they fill the holes really great!

I went with iRotors.com.

That's where I bought my Posi Quiet pads last fall.

$265 delivered via a "Best Price" eBay auction.

They have 1 set left:

Mine will be delivered by Tuesday. They shipped within 24 hours when I called and asked them to.

We'll see how well they're made when I get them!

For the price, BrakeWorld is just a tad higher, but peace of mind is worth a lot!

keep some wax on them so the brake dust dows not pit the metal. I have had my Estorils since they launched and have been awesome. I drive up and down the east coast through some of the worst roads, NY, PA, NJ, DC and not a dent or issue.
