Default Need some opinions!

I have come into a bit of a problem concerning autox wheels and tires. I transition between 2 or 3 different sites which all have verying types of surfaces. My local spot runs on an old WWII run way and the surface is almost like sand paper so they obliterate tires but the other places I run have smooth surfaces and if you aren't running a good tire your done. I pretty much would like to have 2 different tires for each place but getting the wheels and tires changed every other weekend isn't very economical. So I was looking for a set of cheap wheels that I could put cheaper tires on to use at my local spot and put some Kumhos on my track wheels when they come out with more sizes.
Here is my dilemma, I need to choose between an MB Motorsport Weapon wheel or a G-Games Falcon wheel. Both of them weigh about 21lbs and both of them are 18x8 but its at my local place and the guys there don't mind but if or when I go to regionals I will use my oem track wheels. Both of the wheels I can get for about 140 a wheel. So which should I get?

I hear good things about the MB Motorsports Weapons. Cheap and rugged. Lot's of Z owners are running them or the MB Motorsports Competitions.

Any chance of being able to find a used set of track wheels for cheep? I haven't looked at what they are going for lately.

I can't find any Track wheels for under 1100. Plus nobody seems to want to seperate them from the tires so add a few more bucks for shipping and tire removal. I have also found a place that will widen the wheel by a half inch if I ever wanted to for 150 bucks for both. They basically weld in a half inch strip. So with that they still cost less then Track wheels.
