If you prefer road course, why would you

A. get 22s? They're gonna be heavy as shit and cost you handling, feel, and ultimately, time. Tires will be prohibitively expensive, especially if you're going to be putting them through track abuse.

B. get drag radials? Drag radials are known for their soft sidewall, designed to give on the holeshot. They're Godawful for going left or right.
im going with the bigger rims because
a: i like the look
b: its not just going to be used for racing all the time
c:the price doesnt bother me,i paid 1800 for a set of pirelli 24" tires for my truck
d: drag radials are not any softer sidewall that a regular tire. the difference is in the tread pattern and the amount touching the surface of the ground.
e: the 22's i was debating on getting are HRE and they are about as light as a set of 18's. one of the best racing/street wheels made
