Hello ...
  This question is going out to the folks who are road racing and/or
envolved with 'time trial' track work.
 So ...all others might want to delete...now..
=============
 well.. I went to Lime Rock Raceway ( Sharon , Conn) with a friend .
 He was running his CSP Integra at a time trial 'event, there.
I was able to ride with him for the first session...  I'll have to tell you ..
 I AM HOOKED..!!!!!!!
 now ..
 i want to set my car up for those type of events..As you know .
 I autocross the car so it is pretty well set up..
 but for the track I feel i need  a set of rims  that i can dedicate to
RR compound rubber and some gooood brake pads.
question(s) :
what size rims should i get??? ..13".. 14" or 15"   
 .. for autoxing .. i have a set of 13x8" with 225-45-13 Hooziers
but .. that is a necessity for the accelleration and top speed is NOT a concern.
and ..
 what brake pads do you use at the track ???? I may end up getting the same as what my friend uses for his Integra...
but any suggestions ???
 ================
well.
 thanks in advance..
