The ultimate goal in the future for this is a wheel+tire size rule, where
the combination must fit into say a 10"x25" box, any wheel or tire width
you want, so long as it meets those final dimensions.
The local tire guys would be thrilled to see my cantilevers go away.
Although, it does mean I can find 13x6 'race ' wheels at the salvage yard
for $25 ea.

rules were the same as the Prepared? Then if you raced your car in SP for
a couple of years and decided to jump to P you would already have the
correct wheels and wouldnt have to spend another grand for a new set of
wheels. This would help bring back a little economy into our"grassroots"
sport. If you retired from autocrossing you would have both the P and SP
group to sell your used wheels to. Same thing if you continued to autocross
but got a different car. Pardon my economy mindset, my motto is"budget
racing" although I am sure I didnt invent this Phrase.
