Nope, the screaming of the passengers and my stereo drown it out.
In all seriousness, no, no real wind noise that I notice, but I've run racks on cars for 12 years, so even if there was noise I probably wouldn't notice it.

What a surprise, wheels
I love the Works, but they're mounted up with all-seasons as I was planning on a different set of summer wheels. Then a buddy cleared out his garage and I couldn't pass these up. Not the most baller rims, but they work on the car really well, and they're pretty light (<17lbs). Sparco NT-R's, 17x8.5 ET43 with a 245/40/17 Dunlop 901. Perfect for hucking around all summer until I decide on a different set of 18's.........though the 17's are growing on me again. Didn't hurt that I picked 'em up cheap, either.
Not an "aggressive fitment", which means the 245's tuck in beatifully and I get no rubbing anywhere in the range of motion of the suspension. Steering feedback is great, without some of the numbness I've felt running on wider setups, and the car is nice and chuckable. Works for me.
