Default Good Autocross rims and tires? enki, work, gram lights 57c, SSR

I'm trying to keep the price down to the 500-1000. I'm also looking for some good all-season tires that i can autocross in and use in the winter. I live in ky so the winters aren't too bad but theirs snow and ice. I was also thinking of maybe getting SI rims with falken azines to auto x in and the others for daily dirving. Thanks for the help

There are a ton of cheap, cast, reasonably light 15x7's available. You wont notice much performance advantage of a set of volk/ssr bling over them

If you can afford it, this is a better option.

Just my 2 cents.

if you get a set of all-season tires, you'll be disappointed with the performance on the auto-x course as well as in winter driving.

a dedicated set of wheels and tires for auto-x is a much better option (albeit more expensive) so go with the falkens and an inexpensive set of 15x7's if you can afford it. i'm assuming you're autocrossing in SM from your sig, so keep in mind that you can also use r-comp tires. but, of course, these are more expensive than the falkens. fwiw.
