The Perfect Street/RR Wheel

The Perfect Street/RR Wheel
At the risk of being flamed for yet another "What wheels should I buy?" thread... I'd like to take the discussion in a slightly different direction.
I like the look/charateristics of the Roush wheels. Not sure how much I'm paying for the name and how much for the wheel if you get my drift. I'm looking for the elusive best compromise between a street, drag, and road race wheel. Something that's not best in class but very competent in each.
Here's what I'm looking for:
[ul][*]18" Rim[*]Wide as possible in front. 9.5-10" Option to mount a 275 or 285 35-45 aspect tire[*]Out back 10-10.5". 295-? 35-45 aspect tire[*]Light weight (< 20 lbs. In general lighter = better until we get into compromising street survivability)[*]Clearance for 14 inch rotors/aftermarket calipers[*]Less than $2K for the set. Hopefully much less. Realize what I'm asking for above is easy if price no object (multi-piece forged racing wheels. haha.).[*]Correct offsets that keep the wheel tucked up under the wells where they belong.[/ul]
Looked at some Axis wheels that might fit the bill (if they made them for the Mustang. Doh!)
Thoughts?
