MJW--I hear what you're saying.

After chasing after every 987 tire/wheel set on ebay that I came across, I think the best deal I've seen is a set of Mille Miglia Cup1 wheels with either MX's or G-Force Sport tires from Tire rack.
The Wheels run about 3lbs heavier per wheel than the stock 18"s but an set of 4 with the tires mentioned shaved to 5/32, balanced and delivered runs $1400-1500.
I'd like to have lighter wheels but for DE's I don't think this will make much of a difference. Plus, with a 7.5 " front, I can put up to a 245 tire on it.

Ebay just had a set of 987 17" tire/rim takeoffs that sold with shipped for about $1250. Probably not a bad price but the 6.5" rim on the front limits what kind of tire you can use on the car. Look forward to hearing about the 615's.
