Default Need wheels for drifting

Ok guys, here is the quick version. I had an S14 that I took to events like DGtrials and such, but I decided to sell it and put the money into my 350. Right now I've got 18 inch volk GT-C's, but I need a second set of wheels to take to events. I'm not wanting to put too much money into a set because with as many times as I will be changing tires and swapping wheels, I know they are going to get scratched or damaged while I'm drifting. I'm pretty sure I was going to go with a set of A-tech Weapon Wheels, not yet sure of the size. They come in 17x9 +27 or +17 and 18x9 +30 or +15.

Tell me what you guys think about a good size and offset.

For drift only definetely get the 17's - easier to find cheap tires. +27 or +17 will both work, just depends on how aggressive you want it to look.

It'll fit, just don't run anything wider than a 255 to be safe.

Drifters are running stretched tires anyways, so def go with the 17x9 +17. Have you looked into other options like the 5Zigen FN01RC, Gravity Gullflame, etc...?
