The six spoke BBS wheels are the ones to have, no question.

This is not really true. Believe it or not, autocrossing is really much harder on tires per mile than running on a road course. While you might only get 50 autox miles out of a set of Kumhos, you will probably get many hundreds of track miles of them... enough for a least a couple of track weekends.

You definitely get more miles on the track. Depending on your driving style, you can expect 400 - 800 on track miles out of a set of Kumhos, in my experience.

I have 2 autox (double driver) and a 150 road course day on my Kumho's. I think I have about half of the life left in tread. I also have put about 200 interstate miles on them. If you are easy on them (which I am not) they should last longer.
