Reason: snow wheels! 18" Blizzaks will make your winter a whole lot more reasonable. 18" snows are a better bet in the winter too. Plus the stock 18" wheels will likely have the senders in place already for the tire pressure warning system. I bought a set of stock 18's two years ago and had them fitted with Blizzaks. My total outlay including wheels & mounting/balancing was about $1500. I've been through a couple of hard winters without much drama (Connecticut), altho I don't put many miles on the Z in the winter.

Also, I wouldn't worry too much about oil temps, unless you are tracking your car. As soon as you start adding performance (intake, catback, high-flow cats, tune), then you'll probably want the oil cooler. When you do, get one with a thermal plate that closes off the oil cooler at lower temps. Otherwise things will run too cool in the winter, and your gas mileage will suck.

Awesome. Didn't know that but that is great to know. Both the Z and Stillen one have it IINM. I do plan on tracking lightly, perhaps autox and 1/4 m. I might also do FI, but that's like probably 2-3 years down the road...
