You won't be competitive if you stay with a 14" rim so it's a 6 of one, half-dozen of another situation.

Just to let everyone know what i have decided to do, i have decided to buy a set of 195/60/14 falken azenis which i found for $66 a tire to finish off this season and to possibly start of next season. I am also going to invest in a set of 15x7 wheels and tires to daily drive until the azenis run out. Then i am going to start next season or after a couple of races next season switch into street prepared and buy some good tires for the 15x7 , and start daily driving the 14" steelies. I would start using the 15x7 this year but I want to finish season in rookie stock. Please feel free to tell me if you think this is a very bad idea.

If you're going to use the 15x7 as a track tire, I would waste the money in buying a set of tires only to replace them with another set next year.

yeah i thought it over and decided to go with a totally different option. I am going to finish off this season with my crappy tires and wheels and save up to buy a nice set of track wheels and tires for my brothers evo and autocross that next year. Thank you guys for the advice
