Default New Wheel Set For Race Tires

I recently bought and modified a set of reproduction wheels from JW Wheels to use with a set of race tires. Here's a link to all the pictures -- Other Thread -- but I'll include a couple here as well.

I am running 18x10.5" on the F and 17x11.5" (widened from 9.5" by Weldcraft) on the R with Kumho 710s, 305x30x18 & 335x35x17 respectively.

Probably not, as you say, but the time saved with lighter wheels isn't worth thousands of dollars to me. Same reason I run other's old tires when I can.
