It's not much of a problem for me. I have one car that gets used for daily
commute, autocrossing, and even track days. Although it's an inconvenience
to change my wheels before and after every autocross, it's worth it for the
added life of my street tires and extra grip of the race tires. I have my
plus-sized wheels for the street (where looks count for something ;)) and my
icky stock 14x5.5" alloys for racing.
But then I am the kook that runs an essentially stock car in Street
Prepared. :P
