depends on how much time you plan on shredding tires, drift days are expensive, i typically have a set of cheap stock wheels with drift spares in my trunk/hatch.
for me which makes a total of only 2 times i can change over to new rubber so i have to conserve a bit and not power over at every turn killing my tires. I also don't buy new tires, i buy used tires at the mexican tire shops that have at least 80% tred left. about $11-17 (depending on size) per wheel for mounting and balancing.
For a single day for a drifting sanction, i can burn anywhere from $400-$1000 dollars on tires, brake pads, 1 set of spare rotors, extra motor oil, jug of coolant, gasoline, food and drink.
Id love the ability to change over more but id have to bring in a chaser van and be all Project D like..and have all my tools tires and shit laying in the van. I only carry a small amount of basic tools with me at all times, and a jack with 2 stands.
now what can get reaaallly expensive is preping your car for a drift day which also includes adding necessary qualified safty equipment to the mix. Helmet, gloves, battery tie downs, if you have a racing harness they need to be mounted on a harness bar, roll cages need to be welded depending on who is sponsoring the drift day.
just to get into drifting expect to lay down several pay checks just to play a few times during any given season.
