For those of you that daily drive your Z in the winter and put on four dedicated wheels and snow tires, don't forget to put five OEM lugnuts in your trunk in the event of a flat. The lugnuts of the non OEM wheels will not work on the compact spare.

Got a 98 Protege as a winter beater, was either 1k on tires/wheels or 1k on the Mazda. Worked out well!

It's a much better option IMO, saves the car from rust and extra miles + the potential to spin out on a bad day

+ I have a 4 seater now so all the peeps can join

Make sure you've got a wrench/tire-iron that fits the non-OEM lugs while you're at it.

Damn! nice find! would have loved an SUV/AWD alas not this winter, did manage to get a 5 speed so I feel a little better haha, I hear Ohio is pretty bad, but I'm in Chicago suburbs so I cant say much. They're usually pretty quick at getting off the snow on the streets pretty quickly around here so FWD will do.
