I was trying to find a cheap way to have the street and track satisfied. I was going to get a separate set of track rims and tires but that would cost me another $1k or so.

Default It'll cost you way more to run the RA1's on the street
as they wear very fast. Just get a dedicated set of wheels to run them on.
