The car is an e90 330i, which currently has 19" Morr VS8.1s with Goodyear F1 Asyms at 245F/275R. I have the stock 18's on hand, shod with Blizzaks for winter at the moment.
I'm debating just using the stock wheels with dedicated tires for now, which I believe would drop me from STU to STX, where I'd be more competitive based on times I saw on Sunday, assuming I don't lose a ton of time. I could then go to a lighter rim at some point in the future.
Any feedback on that approach?

Since you're new to autox, I would recommend you to just get another set of tires for your stock 18" wheels for the autox if you don't want to ruin your 19". By "ruin", I mean wearing out the tires much quicker. Then get more seat time to build your skill.
