No offense taken. Chris already answered me, im just responding to Alex.s when he tells me an answer to a question i never asked. The only question was whether to use OEM wheels with XX tires (rossi II seems to be the winner), or the vrossi rims 4.5in rear with another tire choice. Thats it, not should i buy these rims, should i use OEM rims, etc. Josh and Alex.s are looking too far into the rabbit hole.
I know im not fast enough to push the limits of any of the tires, thats why i completely ruled out the need for slicks with tire warmers. Im a slow noob and ill be in the beginner group, on my 250.
But ill just restate the actual question since its been derailed so bad.
If you have OEM wheels, and a set of Vrossi wheels. Which would you use on the track with XX tires, and which would you use on the street with XX tires. I really didnt think it was that hard of a question, nor did i think people would jump down my throat saying im wasting money. Im not trying to be some budget track day racer, saving xx here doesnt equal xx more trackdays for me. The money will end up going to a vacation, a dinner, my house, etc.

So you ask us.
We give you the other option; the more realistic option that will be better for your situation; the option you don't want to hear.
You keep going, so SOMEONE will eventually tell you what you want to hear so you can justify your purchase.
Seriously. Look at how fast and how stick the tires are that are available for the stock rim size. Look how many guys race. Look how fast they are. On oe wheels.
$400 could buy you oe wheels AND most of a pair of tires and rotors.
But if you want the vrossi wheels, by all means get them. The OEM wheels are fine and there's great tire options in those sizes. I'm on pregen size tires that are far inferior to tires that are available for newgen wheels. And I and haven't yet met the limits of those crummy tires. I'm not saying I'm fast, but I'm a lot faster than I was when I started. I think you're worrying about something that isn't necessary and are looking for positive reinforcement for something that you plain old want but don't need.
Like I said, your ride. Do whatever you want with it. But know that the OEM wheels will treat you just fine and will give you plenty of awesome tire options.
