FWIW, for combo track/street use, you might want to take a look at the Falken Azenis.

I've seen several club driver ed event instructors for other marques using the Azenis with favorable comments. Not as sticky as stuff like Kuhmo Victor 700's etc, but appear to be more durable while not giving up that much traction. And these were being used on substantially heavier, i.e. @ 3800 - 4000+ lbs "other marques" Last, the Azenis 245/40x18's are whole lots more affordable ($135ish) than, say Michelin Pilot Sports or Yoko AVE Sports or SO-2 or 03 Pole Positions etc. ($200+)

What are OEM wheels going for?

If you don't mind my asking. I'd like to think about having an extra set for snow &/or driver event tires.

Thanks

I sold mine for 680 shipped.

That was for wheels only with 18,000 miles on them in great condition.

No tpms

I am going to take a stock rim with no tire or tpms from the dealership and weigh it on a very accurate scale we have at the office... The scale is accurate to .1 of a pound, and buy the way the TPMS sensors weigh in at just ounces; just a little more than a standard tire valve...
