If you buy an Aero you woould need to get relatively inexpensive16 inch wheels. The optional 17 inch BBS wheels are about $650 USD each to replace! The Aero ride is quite firm. With 16 inch squooshy Hakka Q snow tires it is nice and smooth, though the dry handling suffers greatly. I think a 16 inch high performance All Season tire would be a good compromise for your driving conditions (crappy streets).
