Who's running What??

I'm a little harder on my tires than most cruising through the mountains everyday. I've always wanted to try r-compound/semi slick tires for daily use but I would have to get smaller wheels to make tire prices a little more wallet friendly at the rate I go through tires. I've pondered redrilling the bug rotors to 5x100 and getting light 15x7" wheels just for this purpose.

I have a set of SIMMONS rims that I am trying my very best to use when ever I go to track days. My car is a swingaxle with a narrowed rear end. I am running Porsche Turbo Brembo's and for regular street driving I use Porsche Twist with 17 x 7 x 55mm all around. I also have a set or SIMMONS 3Pc RACING RIMS, the fronts are 17 x 7.5" x 51mm offsets, the rear's are 17 x 8.5" x 57mm offsets Rims which are too wide for my ride with 130mm bolt pattern.
I do have 2" wider fenders but I would have to use huge spacers in the rear to make them fit. I want to stick to the original fenders but if I have to I am willing to trade the wider 17 x 8.5 for a 17 x 7 Simmons.
It's hard to believe that nobody out there in Bug/Porsche world has no Simmons 17" Rims or Barrels or parts???

Anyone has any parts, sell, trade or suggestions for me at this point.

Thanks in Advance

2 of the tires I didn't put in my list were the Falken 215 and 615. The 215 was the older version and was a great all around tire. The 615 is a great street and autox tire but in the mountains and on the track it gets greasy once the tires get hot. They slide a little bit more and the tires wear faster once they get too hot. I'd recommend them for street use but not for track.
