yup, going to use them up learning to really drive this car in autocross before buying stickier performance tires

will do. They are exactly same size, width and offset as stock so will look the same

$51.99 total to mount and balance. Make sure the shop has a touchless setup or at least plastic clamps so as not to scratch the wheels. Most shops have machines with metal clamps they will scratch your painted/coated wheels.

no lowering for me - autocross stock (RTR) class

I either leave them or remove them. I'll probably remove them tomorrow and see how I like it. I don't know of any other options.
