Noticeably, Road noise decrease and a softer ride quality with the Hankooks. I don't know how sticky they are yet, but I would imagine it's better than the potenzas. But I would definitely recommend.

Well the bolts that hold the TPMS sensors on the stock wheels were stuck. I currently don't have any on. I am in the process of buying TPMS sensors for the new wheels and have them installed. Honestly, I don't mind having them off, since I check my tire pressure regularly anyways. I just hate the stupid low tire pressure light that stays on.

Those wheels look great. Do you plan on lowering? Just curious. Your setup still looks clean.

Eventually I'll lower the car. Not too much though because Chicago has some nasty roads. Thanks for the compliment.

The new setup looks great! This is one of my favorite setups that we offer for the 350Z Just to note, the Rota Torque's are 18x9.5 +20

It's actually very easy to tell as the OP has the included Rota center caps installed Work Emotion CR Kai's don't come with center caps nor are they even offered

The Rota Torque is definiately a lightweight setup for the 350Z and we have many enthusiasts running these wheels for street and track applications. The 18x9.5 +20 model for the 350Z is ~22 lbs per wheel

This is actually the exact same model WheelDude.com sponsored GST Motorsports run on their AWD Unlimited Impreza in Redline Time Attack
