GP Wheel Dilema...finally fitted Ultraleggera's

I'm thinking of getting a spare set of wheels for my GP for track days cause i want to keep the run flats for long journeys and i dont mind them on daily driving but they suck on the track. After a bit of thinking i've come up with 2 solutions

1) get another set of the GP alloys with a set of high performance(hp) tyres
or
2) get a set of 17in OZ Ultraleggeras in black with a set of hp tyres

I'd like to get GP wheels cause i like to keep the look OEM, i'll be able to bring thre runflat as a spare wheel on track days incase i get a puncture to get me home and i think the most important they should be easy enough to sell on

But i wouldnt mind the OZ either cause they'll be a bit lighter, handle better and 17in tyres will be cheaper but are will preobaly be alot harder to shift.

Price wise they both work out about the same so thats not an issue well apart form new tyres after the track day

What do you reckon? , my heart is leaning towards GP wheels..........
