Going to put my 2018 Type R on road course track this summer. Looking to buy lighter 18" rims and new tires for the track only. Whats a good combo?

What is your budget? That will dictate choices from cast, flow-formed, to forged wheels.

Titan 7s seem to be the go-to forged track day beater wheel.

For lapping I recommend Hankook RS4
For fastest lap times I recommend Yoko A052 for 200TW
Anything past that you’re looking at Hoosiers or something similar

It's using forged wheels; you can save a similar amount of weight with the Titan 7s or other forged wheels.
