What is the cheapest way to get stickier tires for the track? Is it 15 oem rims and some type of slick? I'm a newb at this track thing but it was fun

i would go with an OEM 15" rim or a weld prostar rim (not cheapest) and get Mickey Thompson ET Street drag radials. They are pretty much slicks but DOT legal and you can run them in any class. Those are my next track tires.
Here's my friends 10 second Capri running on ET Streets on Cobra rims. Stupid fast car and still holds with the Mickeys.

cheap 15" stockers if you can find them.
OR
Bart racing wheels, as for tires. I was told by 4 tire reps from 2 different companies. manual tranny with a stock style suspension (ie non adjustable) bias ply tires work better ( mt et streets originals DOT stamp, hoosier quicktimes dot stamp) and for an auto car same style suspension a Drag radial tire ( your choice here there are tons)
As a side note I think JayC just switched to a bias ply the hoosier quick time pro's and noted that they weigh less than the DR's he had on the car.

I think I'm going to look for some 15's and some Mickeys. How much do they help your 60's. What size should I by?
I mean has far as height and width?

26X10.50-15LT for ET Streets (Bias ply). Hopefully you don't have big brakes, or the wheels won't clear!

Will those fit a 15" oem mustang rim since they're 10.5" wide? I still have the stock brakes in the rear.
