Has anyone thought about getting a spare set of cheaper rims and tires for driving around on the street ? The stock tires are R compound and wont last long. I know the Boss has a bigger brake package. What is the smallest rim that will clear these brakes ?

18 will def fit
18" GT wheels will not fit over your Brembos. I recommend you get an aftermarket wheel or some used GT500 18" wheels. I am going to get some GT500 wheels for my Hoosiers. They can be found really cheap now.
You think the stock rims are too heavy for the track ? I might be better off with an 18" rim that is lighter and maybe wider ?
I'm not really a fan of large rims unless you need them to clear big brakes. It seems to me to be extra weight for no real added benifit.
What are your goals? Lighter wheels for the track are a good thing. Look at Enkei PF01's. My point is the P-Zero Corsas are not worth saving for latter. Use them up as you wish and find something else for the street.
I was thinking about buying rims for the street and using the stock rims for the track. Do you think the money would be better invested in a set or rims for the track ? I bought this car to be a semi-turn key track car.
The stock R compound tires are likely better then I am. I'm still quite the novice when it comes to pushing the car hard on a track so they are likely good enough for me and I think I'd like to use them up on the track instead of on the street.
