Default Which wheel to get.....?

Here's the problem. Currently, my car is rolling on the stock 13inch vx wheels/tires. Feathering the clutch, I'm managing 2.2 60ft times, but the real problem is when shifting into 2nd gear...big time loss of traction.

I like the fact that the wheels are light (9lbs) but i really have a limited choice of tires. I'd like to keep a subtle look...so no fancy, expensive wheels. Do you guys think HX rims would be best? I actually like the look of 98-2001 gsr wheels.

So I just want a wheel that will give me more tire options and not attract too much attention.

I figure I should address this issue before I start making more power. Thanks guys.

Ask for Wallee at machiii.net. He's one of the good guys for sure. He called me in Michigan to make sure everything worked out after I had gotten my wheels. How many shops can you say do that for you? So far, it's the only one I've encountered.
