oops..

You mention that you have to switch rims whenever racing.. so, does it matter what type of rims I should buy in order to avoid the swaping of rims when I want to race? Or will buying any rims do?

i plan on racing on the 555R' II's basically the street tires i had were CRAP. in order to get any traction i had to use my full race tires. this should be a happy medium

Yea, I understand that much.. but I'm probably going to buy rims and tires at the same time and was wondering if I should avoid getting certain rims if using the RII's..
