I'm in serious negotiations with HRE Wheels for a set of 18" 565R or the P45S, both killer wheels. So for now I'm on the fence post until I make that decision. I've lowered the car, it now needs a slightly bigger wheel to compliment the look. For me the biggest question that I'd like answered is Traction? What tire will give me the best traction? Again Mark suggested the Nittos's to get me there. Anyone else have thoughts on that end? I'm not concerned about wear or life of the tire, or rain (I never drive it in inclement weather); I put about 2k on the car per year.

Not sure which Nittos Marc recommended, but like VetteMed said the 555s are awesome and I can't believe the price too. I love them and the traction is awesome in dry and wet. Much better than my Michelin Pilots.
