I think the 14s would be the better bet.

205/50/15" azenis on a 5.5" width wheel arent going to be much of an improvement over the 14s if anything at all.

Just my opinion.

15's are wider that 14's. thats the only real performance gain.

The 15's would have a little better traction because of the slightly larger contact patch. The 14's would be lighter, which would be slightly less rotating mass, which would cause less power loss.

I think it would come down to personal taste...would you rather have 14's or 15's? I would go with 15's because it would fill the wheel gap a little better, and you would have them in case you ever got bigger brakes that required a larger wheel.
