In Europe, I think you can get the sports seats without the sports mags.
All I can say is that the sports seats are in fact very comfortable and I would prefer them to stock seats - unless you are a very large individual, the side bolsters do not dig.
Bertuzzi's calculation is half correct : if you get the rim/mag combo the cost is $2,000 CDn or less ($1,700 - if you get the 16 in on the 325 ers) BUT at that point BOTH tires last longer because you only use them half the time.
So discounting that from his equasion would, in the same scientific manner mean, either (i) deducting from the calculation the cost of replacing the tires once - let us say $1,000, or ading that cost to the cost of buying the non ZSP cars. Either way it dimishes the acquisition cost and this for the very long run since you now OWN the rnd set of mags which you can use until you die (because of course none of us are ever getting another make of car - right
)
PS, this is why I flunked math in highschool.
