Default 16's or 17's

I have a 02 A-4 Firehawk, and I am planning on spraying 150 shot on the track and street. I am looking about getting two wheels for DR's. I am planning on getting the MT DR's. I am running just the nitrous and full exhaust(and the basic bolt-ons). What size wheels do I really need. Also, which type of wheels will be the lightest(etc. salad shooters, snow-flakes). Are 8 inch wheels good enough. What wheels do I need, PLEASE HELP. Thanks.

smaller rim size=larger sidewall=more traction.
