Interesting note about the steering response with 359s... is the only variable the wheels (meaning identical tires/sizes)?
I went 220M's with PS4S, to 220M with AS/3+, to ZCP with PS4S in stock sizes. The second I started driving the ZCP the steering felt heavier and a touch less responsive, more initial resistance and less feel . I'm used to it now, but with the 220's the car definitely felt lighter on it's feet. The ZCP's are a great looking wheel that's very strong, but they are not a performance wheel in my opinion. Cast 20inch wheels must be awful. I'd like to try a car with forged 18's, I suspect they are quite transformational.
