If it was my car (and it isn't) and I wanted to be competitive in AX up to a state championship level, I would do what top AX drivers do:

Find a nice set of OEM takeoff 17" or 18" wheels for $400-$500 per set, mount some fast tires, and really learn how to drive the car at the top of my class. Find an event every weekend and get in the right seat with lots of different top AX drivers. Then get them in my right seat and do exactly what they tell me to do. Spending a bunch of Benjamins on super-lightweight wheels at this point will likely have a low return on investment. Stock wheels are 18-23 lbs.
