15. 17 for comprimise between show/race. fat rims give you better traction too. heavy rims might actually help if youre boosted i believe. light rims spin out too easily under all that power.

I'd go with 16x7 and 225/50/16 slick tires.

Wider wheels will carry more weight. He said he's gonna use it for the track.
