Default Wheel suggestions?

Hey guys, a few weeks agout i traded my 05 vert for a 10 GT coupe. i have a blower comign and i am on the hunt for some wheels to go with it. i plan on doing soem track days, maybe some autocross. What wheels would you guys recommend that look good and don't add weight to the car. i prefer black with polished or chrome thrown in in 18-inch size. i am thinking about the CS69 from shelby in 18" size with some 255 nto5's front and 285 nto5's on the rear. The problem is that no one has apparently ever weighed the CS69 wheel, i can't find any specs on it anywhere. My car has factory 19" right now. Suggestions?

i am also looking at lowering and getting a better suspension under the car. i drove a roush 427r at the dealer the other day and loved the suspension. Not to harsh on the ride on normal streets, but much more aggressive when you get moving. I amthinkgin about the stage 3 from roush to match the R90 blower I ordered.

If you are serious about track time then the same size front and rear allows for rotating the tires. I run 285/40/18s on the street and this year am going to run 275/40/18s on the track

Here are the wheels I have ordered for the track
