Should I just get an extra set of wheels and buy some track tires? Any suggestions on tires?

I recommend the Toyo Proxes R888's 235/35R19 fronts and 305/30R19 rear tires for the track.

Iforge makes great 3 piece, forged, light weight track wheels, but will only make their 19" size wheels for the R8 due to the R8's extra large brake calipers.

Hmm. Not really feeling the design of those wheels. Maybe I should just order some titanium ones from Audi since I'll want them on the V10 anyway.

At the R8 Experience drive day on Monday - the Pirelli guy said they were working on a street legal track tyre for the R8 but it would not be available until early next year.
