I could have told you the Villains are a nice looking wheel, Todd. (:

Argh... I'm in the same boat as Reza, only not as high up on the tire scale. I was chatting with the Tire Rack yesterday, and the guy told me the SP8000's were nowhere near the RE730's (they don't have the RE71's anymore either, damn.). Also, local tire prices seem to be dropping a little.
