Help choosing track wheels...

I'd like to track my M2 and want a separate set of wheels for track duty. (since it's my daily driver) I've researched for the last few hours and still don't know what to get.

Car: 17 M2 DCT (going to get M Performance Coilovers unless you suggest otherwise)

Want: 18" square track wheels without using spacers, wider than stock tires would be great. Will most likely go with R888, RE71R, or similar tire if that matters at all. I'd prefer stuff that I can get shipped mounted and balanced (like tire rack), but will buy elsewhere if needed. I also want zero rubbing. Rubbing is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Extra: Probably will need camber plate to get fronts not to rub, right? Will dealership install that without raising an eyebrow, or should I do that one on my own?

Thanks!

What's the budget? What suspension are you going to use if you don't already have it? Camber plates would be a good idea

Will that fit without spacers? What size tires will I be able to use?

I don't have a set budget but don't think it's necessary to spend $1k per wheel. Something like $600/wheel or less preferred.

Volk TE37sl are light. Less than $800 a wheel.
I'm really interested in those and the Apex Arc8 wheels which are light and very reasonably priced

EDIT: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1252662

That should help

Looks like they used spacers up front--I'd prefer not to use spacers even if it means narrower tires.

Volk TE37SL Saga are for BMW, take a look at those. Several of the sponsors have set ups if you call and inquire.
