Mostly tires. Definitely tires.
Brakes, somewhat. You might want to do a fluid flush more often, and use some high quality stuff (like Super Blue). You will smell smells from the brakes that you never thought possible. But, the runs are pretty short, so it's not like a track day, even.
Other things might wear more quickly, as well, but not necessarily just because of a few autocrosses. Things like wheel bearings wear out faster for driving enthusiasts. I have no idea why. 
Function before fashion.
