i'll probably get style 313 with summer tires on them and change my multi spoke wheels to winter tires... that way it'll look good year round. i have an SUV for really hard snowfalls but just in case i get caught in the snow with my Z i'll be ready... plus i've read that summer tires get hard like hockey pucks on really cold weather and are worthless even if there's no snow.

Those multi spoke wheels will be a bear to keep clean in the winter! I'd buy a wheel/tire combo from Tire Rack for use in the winter if you think you will be driving your Z in bad weather. Why not just drive the SUV and leave the Z parked when the weather is bad?

OK, I stand corrected, Booty Calls definitely call for driving the Z4. In this case, I would buy a nice set of easily cleanable wheels and snow tires from TireRack. Check it out, a complete set can sometimes be had for around $1K.
