*cough* benjies don't fly outta mah rear *cough*

And $2k+ track wheels really seem like a bad idea. NT03ms (<$900 used) and RPF1s ($1100 new) are cheap enough that if you get an owie in one at the track you don't cry much. And they are light too

Even if I don't care too much for the way they look.

Guys, I'm not spending > $1200 on a set of wheels that are going to get beat up with track duty. Sorry. Honestly I would have a hard time spending that much on wheels that would be for the street either. They'd either get stolen, scraped or otherwise mangled, so it just doesn't make sense.

Now if some of these fine wheels were on sale (new or used), I wouldn't be opposed to them... but @ MSRP or typical street prices, I can't justify the cost.

OK I am going with A6's in 275/35/18. They'll be easier to stuff under there... Still will likely require a touch of roll depending on how aggressive I get with the offset. Now I just need wheels.
