I think available tire size and brand dictates wheel in my case. I think the NT-05 will probably be the best 200 tw tire to go with but they dont make a 315 for 18" wheels.

I've got two sets of 17" wheels but one set is going on the white car and the other is borrowed.

Looks is second on the list. If I were going for looks I'd keep the white Camaro and sell the orange one. The white one is alot cleaner.

I'll be working on suspension travel as soon as I get my wheels. First I'm going to throw the new tires and wheels on. I have two new sets of Afco springs, 600 lb and 650 lb. I'll start out with the 650 lb springs, adjust the spring spacer for more travel, throw it up on scales for balance, and then hit the alignment shop. I've got a buddy that has an alignment rack. We are going to do 3 or 4 camber/caster set ups. Basically throw shims in, get a setting, pull them back out and label them. 1 set up from Doug at Global West, 2 set ups from Vince, and one from me.

Thought I wasn't going out until May but I'd like to be ready for RTTC so I'm shooting for test and tune at Thunderhill in January on 200 TW tires. NCRC is having a "get your money back if it rains" track day on the 23rd for $99.
