Buy a spare set or just tires?

I was thinking of buying a set of track wheels and tires (i used to have some, sold them since I didn't think I'd get another BMW)

But I haven't really found a good set for sale within my budget (would like to keep tire/wheel costs under $600)

I can buy a set of wheels/tires for about that price, maybe a little more...OR I can use my friend's used NT555s I have been trying to sell (a good amount of thread left on them) on my stock 18s.

Cause I really don't want to track the runflats..they suck and are expensive.

I would also not like to use my DPEs on the track... that thought is just scary.

So.... question is:
Buy a new wheel/tire combo for $600-800

or spend $200+$40 (mount/balance) on my OEM rims

Any input would be appreciated

Thanks

(P.S. I didn't post it in the track section since this section always gets 10x more views hehe; but mods, please do free to move if you feel it's for the best)
