for hoosiers and light weight wheels, you are looking at nearly the same! $500 for light cheap wheels and $800 for tires. for a little more, you can have the suspension mods and drive on your autox set up everyday (which is still more tame than alot of mid range sports cars)

im not trying to argue, just providing an alternative.

Good call. Who's offering $85 each for R-comps BTW? And $500 for wheels? Just saying I could always use a better deal. And my springs are already installed with sway bar next.

So far I've got my heart set on the lightest rims I could find (MSRP about $800/set, but will keep looking for better price) + tire budget (limit $800/set). Total of $1600 sounds about right, though it could be much lower depending on chosen tires and certain retailers. My local tire guy always gives me a good deal so I'll see if he's got what I want first.
