need opinions on an AutoX wheel/tire setup. My AX events I attend are 1-2 hours away and i want to get a 2nd set of tires and wheels for autocross itself. My Z is not my daily driver, but I do drive it on the weekends on the street. Being in Texas, this means the car will still see 10k miles a year easy. I want to use the stock wheels with cheaper tires for road trips and street driving.

Saying all that, I gather the best setup for dedicated AX use is a square setup in the 18" 275/285 width range? Any suggestions on affordable wheels? I don't really care what they look like. I care much more about function than looks. Also, i personally don't think I'm ready for R compound tires yet as I'm still pretty new and would rather just get another set of good street tires and learn to drive better. I do want wheels that wont have a problem fitting Hoosiers in the future.

Thanks!
