For the street I would NOT go with SRR Comps. They are fragile wheels and tend to bend and damage A LOT easier than mostother wheels. Some fellow AUto-X'ers have gone through up to 3 wheels of Comps within a year time from the streets here around LA. I would personally go with a wheel that isn't made from soft metal, and something that's both light weight and proven reliable and dependable. Rota for example. Yes they are knock off wheels, but they are pretty damn strong, light in most cases and very inexpensive, esp. if you ever need to replace any. I got my 16x7 Rota Grids for $450 plus tax for ALL 4 wheels. Gram Lights are very nice wheels though, but they are pretty expensive anywhere you get them from, so there's no avoiding that with those wheels. Also 5Zigen FN01R-C wheels are very nice, similar to the Gram Lights, about the same weight (slightly heavier) and I believe cheaper as well in price. They are another proven race worthy wheel just like the Gram Lights.
Tire Rack is an excellent shop to purchase from, I got my current set of tires from them.
