Tires to run at autocross events?/

Hey i am sure there are a few of you that do this. What tires are you running (on what rims) for autocrossing and how much did you invest for them??

Kumho 275/35R17s on Progressive 17X10 wheels. The wheel design is not my favorite, but they have a very high load rate. Tires were about $175 each and the wheels were about $210. Pretty close to $1600 for the set up. Low profile tires are best for autocross. You might consider picking up some used 18" Lightning wheels and go with a low profile 18" tire.
