What tires should I buy for my WRX?

So, as it looks likely that I will not have anything in the way of a new car by the time autox season starts, as much as I don't want to I am thinking about running the WRX. The stock tires are crap. I am torn between getting a set of competition-type tires and just getting a set of good, ultra-high performance street tires (like Azenis) that wouldn't be as fast on the course, but would allow me to drive on better tires than the OEMs during the rest of the summer (I will keep the OEM tires/wheels for winter use).

Any thoughts on which R comps I should look at? The A032Rs? Which non-R comps would be good? Azenis? Any other recommendations?

Cheap is better than not cheap, since I won't be competitive anyway.

EDIT:

Also, what's the best place to buy a set of aftermarket wheels for the Scooby? Tires?
