1) Drive to garage with new wheels + tires in my SUV
2) Drive back home
3) Drive to garage with old wheels on the Z
4) Get new wheels mounted and balanced then swap with the old ones on the Z
5) Drive home
6) Drive SUV back to garage
7) Pick up old wheels and going back home (for the 3rd time)

Also, in regards to TPMS using rotational speed. I believe in the US, we have direct tire pressure monitoring, as opposed to the rest of the market (like in the UK) where the Z gets indirect (rotational speed) tire pressure monitoring. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though....
Ah OK sorry, I didn't realise there was a difference between European and USA specs re TPMS, you learn something everyday
