Get some old 14" steels for the prelude s or whateva is 4 on 4-1/2

14" slick is a nice set up for your horsepower.

bigger rim/slick can be better or it can just snap you effing axles real quick lmao

I would guess the slicks are around $200 or a little less (NEW)

USed can be purchased cheaper but be weary and should look before you buy.

Ask at the track or start googling

I've found that unless you go crazy, a set of decent slicks will be around $300 a pair. And don't go with steelies, those things are HEAVY. Grab a pair of the lightest wheels you can find.

You're right about the weight ^^

I was just thinking cheap and $300 is about right for the slicks but you can find smaller 14 for cheaper with some searching.

Add some tire presure. Ppl always say drop your pressure cuz they dont understand that with a stiff sidewall street tire, droping pressure doesnt work like it does with slicks. Inflate your tires to the full recomended pressure, and drop it from there. I bet youll notice a drop in your 60fts before you get to 25 psi, and a gain after you start gettin lower than 25. Always make sure the tire pressures are the same from side to side. Also, a 2 second 60ft on street tires is pretty damn good for a FWD car.

The best way to spool your turbo in the lights is to get a 2 step. Theyre cheap and do just what you want. But, like it was already said, if your havin traction problems now theres no need to be spooled on the launch.
