Winter beater

Good winter rims and tires costs the same as a winter beater.

+1. And my winter beater will crawl over rocks and wade through mud holes. Try that in a Z with winter tires.

Every time I wash my Z, I would swear those were exactly the driving conditions it was subjected to :P Price you pay for driving a white swirl-resistant color, I guess?

LAVA

true, but what kind of owner/enthusiast would expose their baby to all that road salt?

Duc_Z09

I think that was his point... why pay for rims and tires when you can get a car/truck/SUV that actually works in snow?

Why would I want to drive $1000 car for almost a 3rd of the year? I'd rather just throw some snow tires on the Z and continue enjoying the car year 'round.
