I was riding on my stock wheels/tires for the past 6 months because I had bubbles on 2 of the P Zero Nero's. Finally pulled the trigger and got new tires and put the rims back on. Let me know what you guys think.

Im riding on Miro 111 wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Nero tires (245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rear)

I know it needs a drop and the M Tech Kit should be coming soon.

Nice.

Have you thought about using black plasti-dip on the trunk lock to hide it? I want to do this to mine since it's Monaco blue and that chrome lock stands out like a thumb to me. Haven't pulled the trigger, but I think it would disappear nicely. I've taken care of the driver's door lock, but that product won't cover the entire trunk lock.

Thanks. Cornering is great, you really have an amazing grip on the road. They are noisy though, especially at higher speeds.

Thats a good idea. How has it been holding to the chrome? I was thinking about eventually getting the M5 trunk finisher but that would definitely be a cheaper route.

A member here naitch has a black 535 and he's done both the door and trunk locks. Looks really nice. I think he's got posted images, but my work blocks imageshack so when I search I see nothing. Said he just masked it off and sprayed a few, think he said 5-6, coats on it. With the black rubber surround it looks factory. I can't help but stare at the lock on mine every time I look at the rear end. Something might be wrong with me.
