(The Toyos are great but don't come in a 255/40/18, but the BFGs do... thus my desire to switch.)

as far as road noise I cant really tell you... my car is super loud as is with all the interior in the rear taken out and my exhaust and cats...
hey TriX: the spoiler i have is made by data systems(illusions) OF JAPAN. you can go to www.toyamagroup.com for more info or to order. toyama group has great customer service. spoiler build and fitment quality are top notch.
the pk6's don't seem to look as good to me in silver. maybe it depends on the color of the Z. i have had my pk6's since 25Feb04 and i couldn't be any happier with them. great wheel at a great price!
btw, i paid $1,547 for wheels, tires, gorilla lugnuts, mounting/ balancing and free shipping(took two days). i purchased mine through discount tire direct.

On that note, what sort of offsets do you have to allow tires that wide? And did you have to roll the fenders? Any rubbing at all?
Wish I knew how to attach quotes....but thanks for the compliments.
HRE guarantees fitment of their wheels with custom offsets...I have looked at all of my paperwork from them and cannot locate offset info...I suppose it is stamped on the inside of the wheel, but that's kinda tricky (impossible) to see with them on the car.
They also guarantee clearance with your specific brake setup.
Customer service is excellent.
No rolling of the fenders with this setup...I can go lower but would have camber issues. As set up, I am just out of spec. and expect 10% treadwear loss due to camber. (zLand has same setup, I copied his) No rubbing.
I'll post a few more pics here...there are a few in the Gallery Forum, specific colors, SS, last page or next to last page.

I love the thread design, very nasty! kind of WWII truck feel
:lol:On BBS RGR (I'll try to post a picture later)
18x8.5f et 23
18x9.5r et 25
245/40-18
265/40-18 (discontinued I think)
no VDC problems
odd thing I found out is during braking tires don't grip for nothing compared to the re040s, screetch very easy.
Otherwise great dry and wet tires, maybe a little less responsive than the stock bridgestones.
roadnoise is not significantly louder than stock... actually I just got rid of the old tires(feathered and whatnot) and obviously they feel way quieter.
