Default wheels and tires?

Well i should be getting tax money soon. so , i was thinking ,
i wanted to get 2 rims with dr's on then just for the track.
what size rim would be best ?
should i put dr's on 14's? or i can maybe get a pair of vx rims , and maybe
put dr's on them. right now on my car i got 14's steeles with pos tires on them. or how much would some cheap 13 inch rims with slicks on them run me? thanx for any info

I run 15 inch dr's, 14 inchers are gonna give you mucho sidewall wich is gonna hurt your handling for street driving. Some people think more sidewall is better for the track b/c it flex's to allow for better hookup but in a dr the sidewall has steel belts, it's not gonna flex enough to make a diff.

If your going to get 13's then get slicks.
Depends on your setup.

also depends on your brake size. HX wheels don't fit on ex or si due to caliper clearance issues.
