I'm getting hooked on AutoX. I'm looking for a second set of wheels and tires to daily during the summer and also autox. Doing some research, I'm more confused now than when I began. Currently, I have the OEM ZL1 wheels on all seasons and these will be my winter setup, although I barely drive this car in the winter, maybe once a week if that. I've considered Apex 19 inch wheels or just getting a set of MMR for the winter and using the OEM ZL1 wheels for summer and autox. For tires, if I go with the 19inch Apex, I'm looking at Continental Force 315/295/30/20. If I use the ZL1 wheels for summer, I'm looking at the GY SC3. the 20 inch option is $1,000 cheaper because the tires are cheaper and I can get by with a cheaper wheel for winter. I understand the Contis are more of an endurance tire but are good to go without much warmup, which sounds OK for Autox. OTOH, the GY SC3 seem like a bad choice for Autox and dailying because they take time to heat up and aren't too good until they do.

Any other wheel/tire combos I should consider around the $3k range?
