I can't comment on the burn yourself and surroundings. I had that stage a few years ago.
Practice and good tools are the things you need. Tools is just money, experience is easier gained with good tools.

On wheels. I make an adaptor that accepts a hex 17 RC wheel on the standard 12mm diameter, 3/8 unf/M5left shaft.
RC wheels are lighter and more grippy (if not ment for driftcars) than any other commercial wheel I used in the past.
