Thanks man, I love the way they fit, not too agressive, but flush enough for my taste.

I like both, but I don't like having to clean the whities twice everyday, the advans can stay w/o getting washed for a month, and they'll still be gunmetal
that, and they'll match better with the small CF parts i'm planning to get down the road

not really, I like driving the car now way better than before, but it's only because of the tires
