Default Looking for best tires for drag strip

Basically im sorta stumped. I currently run 16x7 VOLK CE28N wheels on my integra. They are perfect for the weekends, but i still need a set of rims for the drag strip. I dont want to find another set of wheels and use the Volks at the strip so is this a good idea?

I was wondering if GSR Blades would be a good wheel for the drag strip, and throwing 205/50/15 BFGoodrich g-Force R1's on the blades.

Anyone have any input, and does anyone believe something would be better then blades? Or a better tire size?

blades are heavy, why don't you find a set of light wheels for the slicks?

or do you need to look cool while your drag racing?

Maybe ask in the wheel/tire or drag race forum?

you must have deep pockets if gsr wheels are cheap for slicks.

try some HX wheels or some steelies.
