Rowan, thanks. I would be using the wheels for competition only, so I'd be going with the Kumho Ecsta V700. The 225s on a 7" wide wheel might tend to cup the footprint by pulling the beads in too far. Also, the 225s weigh 23.3 lbs each, the 205/40x17 weighs 19.2 lbs.
But when I look at the price of wheels and tires, it's way over $1000 which puts it out of reach for me right now. I think I'm going to wait and run my first season on street tires. I'll learn more of the subtleties of the handling that way before going to r compounds for that last 10%!
