Like vwong said, I don't want to swap wheels back and forth =/, and plus I don't have the funds to buy tires and rims for autox AND buy tires for my dd.

I, for one, am one of those who don't want to swap wheels. I've done that before in my Prelude. I used to carry a set of wheels, jack, and tools to autox and track events, then swapped them out at the events. Now I just want to arrive, check tire pressures, take my runs, then adjust tire pressures back to street pressures, and take off. |
exactly what I want to do!

Yeah,,, I've heard ARC-8s are pretty awesome for DD and autox, but I am still open for options.

But in SCCA's stock (or their new road tire classes), you're limited to factory sizes. So if your car came with staggered wheels/tires, you gotta stay with the same sizes.
For me, if I were to get a new set of lightweight 18" wheels, Volk TE37 is the only choice. But they're quite pricey!!!

I run with BMWCCA, for now I don't care about which class I am running. I want to start from ground 0 and build up from there.
Oh and I also thought about TE37s,,, but they are pricey like you said lol. I want to stay near the arc-8 range!
