Default need suggestion about size of wheels to use

i have been thinking about this topic for a few days, and i can't come to a conclusion myself... so i am asking all you guys' opinion.

looking to get a set of nice light weight wheels (without spending too much) and a set of tires such as azenis...etc for the track and autox

choice 1: set of 14" hx wheels w/ azenis tires and just use them, i thought the HX wheels are light, and azenis will do the job.

choice 2: set of 15" wheels w/ azenis or mx and use those as they are wider tires and less sidewall, maybe will do better than 14" wheels.

here are a few problems i got stuck on... for the 15" wheels, will those stock gsr wheels not wide enough to mount those azenis or mx?
tire price between those 14" and 15" is about $100, is it worth it?

thanks for the help guys

Here's the info regarding min/max width for azenis. They'll fit on wheels as narrow as 5.5", but the general consensus is that wider is better

I recommend the HX with the Azenis. Lightweight and tires are cheaper. HX all the way
