Would like them, but the price range is out of my budget - the wife says one budget; any money I use for the Z, goes away from the racecar. So, honestly, the racecar is more fun, and wins out.

As for the tire noise, I agree the car doesn't have much sound deadening, and that doesn't bother me. The noise I am talking about is the frozen rubber scrapping the road surface during hard turns, low speeds, and cold days. Many discussions on this before - its just disappointing, as I get reminded about it every day I pull out of my driveway to go to work. My days in the tire design world, we would have never had an OEM tire do that (I was designing the high performance tires for Porsches, BMWs, turbo PT, etc).

Regardless, thanks for the pics, look forward to my future wheel decisions.
