Given how fast a set of RE71s in stock sizes are, there really is no need for people to be buying extra sets of wheels.
Extra wheels are still great, but I feel that it is much more optional than I felt many years ago when I started tracking, where I bought a set of 18x10 Arc8s for my second event.

The ONLY way I could live with re71s as a daily is if I rarely drove the car on public roads. They are just WAY too noisy for me as a day-day tire. Not a big deal for my 70 mile drive to VIR 3-4 times a year, but anything more then that it would drive me completely insane. The ps4s blows away the re71s as a daily, it isn't even close. I'd consider re71s for track tires if they came in 275/305 and were the same cost as NT01s. At least you can use the re71s in the rain provided they still have ample tread of course.
