i have the same rims in black color and was considering the same tire size.

on my previous cars i had those Bridgestone but they become really noise with more then 10 000km so im considering Pirelli P-Zero this time

That's the price we pay for a good track tire. The RE-11 is a great choice for the track. If you go Pirelli they won't give you the same traction and heat resistance on the track. It is a compromise and you have to decide what characteristics matter more to you... track performance or street livability.

Do you have any pictures of your setup?

C63 sedan
In my opinion, 18 inch is better for track use than 19.

^ very true and a lightweight forged wheel is preferable
