I'm running a square setup...

Wheels: 17x7.5" ET42 Sport Edition (I know, I know) SE-16 ~19-20lbs
Tires: 245/45ZR17 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500

Note: I had to have the rear fenders rolled a hint to stop some rubbing...

About $90 a tire, $60 a wheel, it looks good enough for me, and handled AMAZINGLY well (super neutral, really balanced) with my other suspension mods (build thread in signature below) at my last track event at Summit Point's Shenandoah Circuit.

Not too extreme a setup, but great if you're starting out and don't want to invest too much right away (lower grip tires were great for doing suspension setup and tuning over time).

Aaand, they clear my F30 335i brakes, if you ever decide to upgrade to them...
