Default Good Track Rim in 15"?

Ok well today was my first time I actually raced my hatch. I guess its called a circuit track I was on. But anyways WOW. how fun is that!!!!

Seeing how it was my first time I just went on with my daily rims/tires "run what you brung" kinda deal. It was great for my first time but I made short work on my tires lol.

Anyways I'm gonna buy another set of rims for track use only. Can anyone sugest a good and cheap 15" rim? I was thinking a stock integra LS mesh rim maybe????

For stock wheels, there's LS Mesh, Fat Fives, GSR Blades, Si wheels. All are 15 x 6", but they are all about 15-16 lbs/ea.

You might be able to find a cheap set of stock 15's from a Miata, also a 4x100 bolt pattern, and they are usually 13-14 lbs/ea.

pick up a set of used Rotas, the slips are the lightest but others are decent too
