If you could wait for the NT05s to come out, then I would just save my money for those. In the meantime, you can swap your tires from the wedsports onto the volks 

Here's another shot I took today.
they actually aren't that bad once you get used to them. the actual mirror itself is a lot smaller, but the mirror is also convex, so it helps a little bit. The one thing that I do miss, however, is the ability to remotely maneuver the angle of the mirror (mostly so I don't get too close to the curb while parking)

those wheels should have r comps on em 

I am planning to keep my weds for track usage Ken! whenever the dunlops run out, I want to try a nice set of sticky Nitto's.
how is the track treating ya?
hmm... contemplating 11psi... should I do it? I still want the car to remain "track-able". I love the linearity of the centrifugal supercharger, mainly due to the nature of the powerband.. Unlike a turbo, boost may not suddenly spike, which can upset the cars balance in mid-corner
another questionable reason as to why I am a bit weary is because it would cost a lot of money to up the boost..
I would need to swap out the clutch for a stage III or stage IV ($600 for clutch, and then even more for labor since clutch removal with a sc requires removal of the sc and reinstallation...). Then I would need additional funding for the head gasket to lower compression, new pulley, new belts, and more tuning
so many plans, so little money.

I say keep it where it's at. Jei can probably tune the car at 11psi and it should still be okay to drive. It's only reaching 11psi at close to redline so you should be fine. I think eventually you'll have to change out the clutch sooner or later.
Sell a set of your wheels and i'm sure you can get the funds to do it right.
