I've taken some national level autox guys around a track and they freak out at the speeds, while I've ridden with them at an AutoX and was blown away by how quickly an AutoX car transitions.
Andy Hollis, a multiple national champion autocrosser has found that 225 RS3's and Rivals on 15x9's were the fastest setup on his One Lap CRX and his STC Civic on track.

Also, RPF1's have a 0.3 lb of a difference in weight for 17x8 vs 17x9.
