Default Recommendations for wheels for 18" MPSCs

I'm thinking of getting 18" wheels for track use and plan on running MPSCs on them. Recommendations?.....

The BBS look old and outdated on the GT3
Actually, they make the car look slower IMHO

Make sure the MPSCs are available in the sizes you want - long backorder on the 18" 315's

tire rack has an amazing deal on OZ Superleggera wheels mounted with 18 inch 235/315 Michelin Cups and pressure sensors. Very nice price.

Don't forget the Volk TE-37's that are now in P-car fitments. Tire Rack has them at about $600-700/corner and they only weigh 20#

As much as I like Volks, I don't think they make a 12 inch wide wheel.
