Thanks for the thread as I will be making the same decision (what wheels and tires for track use only) for my GP later this year.

For "daily driver" duty, I put BBS RV-F (17x7.5 +4mm) in the "Diamond Black" finish (wheels) with Pirelli PZero Nero M&S 215/40/ZR17 tyres. The look is "subdued" and the tyres have much better traction in all settings compared to the stock tyres.

However, for track duty, I'd like to keep the costs down, so I'm thinking of the Team Dynamics set of wheels also (affordable, light, lots of people have great experience with them). If I could do a 16" that would fit an upgraded brake system, I might even consider 16" for the track.

Regarding the (related) comment on coilovers, I'm having a set of AST coilovers installed in March, along with a rear sway bar (I've already installed RDR/Helix adjustable camber plates, plus a GTT strut brace).

Keep us posted on your selection thoughts and experiences!
