Why? I don't really see the advantage of aftermarket in autocross. Lighter rims do increase acceleration but have hardly anything to do with handling. Shorter tire/wider rim however has positive effect by giving you a stiffer side wall. Other than the looks, I can get a set of used OEM rims for $200 with the money I'm saving, I could have a set of wet tires too!

BTW just finished my first auto-x after the mods (shocks, springs, and front swaybar) I'll report my findings once the results are up.
