Thanks, everyone for this great feedback! I did not expect so many replies. I'm going to do a little more research on the Continental Extreme Contact DWS-06 and the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 and will decide based on what I find. I really appreciate all of your time and input!!!
I used both in the past. Can't say which one is better because it does not rain a whole lot in LA. I just got A/S 3 the second time now. I like them so far. Got them from Costco for around $800 including installation. Great deal IMHO.
I did the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 as well. So much quiter then the garbage tires I had on it. somebody mentioned the water throw out to the side. I agree, compared the the F150, which blinds me in just a little bit of rain, these tires are so much better. As for the snow comment, I also agree,
I had powder coat my peelers in a gun metal grey and love them.
OK, thanks for clarifying. I think you've got to add tires like the Continental DWS06 and the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 to your list of contenders. Have you check the UTOQ values on the tires you've mentioned?
I have dws06 as well. For daily use I also would consider the original continental procontact. Compared to dws06 they are quiter, have longer lifespan and better handling I. The snow. On the other side they not as ''high performance' as the dws06.

The wheels I purchased are off a 2014 S4. Did you install any hub rings? My hubs are 57.1mm and the center bore of the new wheels are 66.6 (secret devil worshiper?) so I purchased a set of "Hubcentric Rings 57.1mm to 66.6mm" so they'll fit properly.
Love the gunmetal grey! The wheels on my 350z are powder coated "Almost Grey" so its a very similar color and they look equally amazing.

I'd highly recommend picking up a set of Smoked Front Bumper Side Marker Lights. It gets rid of the OEM orange eye-sore (in my opinion) for a much sleeker, cleaner look. I snagged a pair off eBay for under $50. Took me about 5 minutes to swap them out. All you need is a tiny flathead screwdriver or trim removal tool to pop them out, replace, and pop them back in- it's super easy.

Cheers!
So, yes I did have to get hub rings, but I can not seem to find the receipt for them.
