racing slicks

Hey I'm looking into getting some slicks to help me hook up. I've never used them before. What size rims and slicks should I go for on an eg hatch?

Re:racing slicks

to get a good estimate of what you should use we need to know the approximate power your putting to the ground.

To the wheels, I'll probably be putting down under 200 horses. It's a boosted b18 in my hatch, fairly torquey. The cheapest way to go would be drag radials, but I'd like to look into some slicks.

Re:racing slicks

Honestly drag radials blow *** for the track, you cant do a hard launch on them, because you will smoke them. get some real wrinklewall fatty slicks. for 200whp I'd probably get some 23's on some 13 or 14inch rims M&H or Micky Thompson makes some nice slicks in those sizes.

I personally have a set of lenso drag wheels on a set of M&H's. They run like 285 a pair, and slicks are about 140-185 a peice.. check out exospeed.com
