I've been obsessing about wheels lately. I dream of them, I sleep with pictures of them,
But I'm in a dilemma. If I got wheels for the street, I'd want to get something really light, and probably 16 inch, but then if I ever raced, I'd be tearing up my street tires and they wouldn't be as sticky as race tires anyways. But if I got a set of race wheels and tires (15 inch), I'd have a hard time affording any street wheel/tire combo that would be much better than stock, if I could afford it at all.
What do you think? I've done no racing yet, but I don't want to spend more preparing for it than I have to, so first getting really good dual purpose wheels/tires and later getting dedicated race wheels seems like it might kill my budget for anything else. But I'm eageer to "personalize" the car some, and I don't want to do body kits, lights, etc. so that leaves me with wheels.
What would you do in my situation?
