Bogards made just for drag racing, but they are not street legal. They even make the little skinny wheel for the front.

If you want something easy to get and cheap, stock 3rd gen wheels do fairly well. 16x8, super light, and bolt right up on the back of 2nd and 3rd gens.

Whatever is cheap and light. FD wheels, z32 wheels, some steelies off of another car..etc. Slicks have a flexible sidewall to absorb shock and can fit a more narrow wheel than normal. I've seen 225 M/T on a 5.5" wheel, for example.
