As for the wheels...I'm running the JC Hazard wheels and like them very much. Only change I made was mounting some PL Suburb 2.0's (the go-to-tire at my track) on those wheels and I picked up about a lap per 5 minute heat and dropped my average lap by a second...which is pretty good considering the fast lap for SCT's is mid 16 seconds (it's a short tight track in an area about 78 by 50...high bite clay/dirt mix)!

YRMV but needless to say, I'm sold on the Hazard wheels!
