I had a set of niche wheels ordered.

I didn't buy them after holding at them. The machine work wasn't very nice imo. Kinda half done. Very sharp edges that could have been easily machined away

Bump your budget $50 a wheel and get Forgestar F14's in 18x10. Anything larger than 18" wheels are going to hurt your performance on a road course.

Look into a set of nice used wheels. I wouldn't waste your hard earned money on cheap track wheels. I've seen guys coming back into the paddock after going over a burm with hairline cracks in a spoke or two.

Enkei makes some nice wheels that I've had great luck with and they are fairly inexpensive I believe forgestar is fairly affordable too.

18x10+40 square seems like the sweet spot for a nice track setup

Plus is it better to run squared stance or staggered? The widths of the rim

I would run the square setup for track use this way you can rotate as well. Let me know if I can help you out in anyway.
