Track wheel setup questions....please help!

I recently had the chance to try some 1993 Infiniti J30 15x6.5 wheels on my 2001 Maxima, and they cleared the calipers up front and all that fun stuff. Ok now to the point of this email, does anyone know how much the stock 2000 GXE steelies weigh??? how much the 1993 J30 alloys weigh??? Im considering the Infiniti wheels for the extra half inch in width over the steelies. Im thinkin the Infiniti wheels will make a decent track wheel for my 2001 auto...the only problem i am going to encounter with those is traction. I could barely keep it from spinning without torque braking and no spray, so if i launch at the track ill end up getting massive wheel spin and even more if i spray. So another question, would a Mickey Thompson 22x8 drag slick be a good tire for these wheels to use at the track?? Is a 22" drag slick going to be too short in diameter?? or should i go with a drag radial of some kind such as the Nitto 555R. Let me know what you guys think. Ill post this in the 5th Gen forums as well. Thanks in advance guys!!
