Default Racing Slicks, anyone seen them?

I have autocrossed my C6 a few times and went through my first set of OEM's pretty quick. Does anyone know where I can locate some 19" slicks for our tire specs. I was thinking about running just four extra wheels with slicks for autocross to make it easier and to save on tires Appreciate any advice!

I can't find any, and that coupled with the car's refusal to go over 45 mph if it doesn't detect the air pressure sensors "married" to the car has me pretty upset.

I can't buy a set of track wheels and tires and a set of street wheels and tires, and I can't run the factory wheels with any kind of dual purpose tires (Yokohama A032Rs, for example).

Maybe some aftermarket 18" X 10" just for the rears? There is a selection of drag/race tires that will match the 285/35/19 diameters.
