Didn't read the whole thread but I've been through 70,000 miles with the car and about five sets of tires, four sets of wheels. My current setup is by far my favorite: 17x8 +45 wheels (17lbs) with 235/40/17 tires (harder size to find but amazing for NA twins since it is 20mm wider and also a tad less diameter, and usually close to the same weight as stock size PSS). Current tires are Toyo Proxes T1Sport's and I really like them. Very comparable to PSS but despite the lower wear rating they've actually worn slower than my last three sets of PSS (also amazing tires).

Recap: get light 17x8's and 235/40/17's... same weight as stock, more grip, AND faster acceleration. My next set of 235/40/17's will be more toyo's, Nitto NT05's, or (most likely) Z2 Star Specs.
