Default 15 inch Rim Question-15x6.5 or 15x7?

Ok, I did a search on this topic and didn't find what I was looking for. My question is should I go with a 15x6.5 rota rim that cost 450 shipped, or should I try to find a 15x7 rims that may cost me a min of 600. Give me your opinions if I really need that extra .5 on the rim.

I know I can put a wider tire on the 15x7, but will I really go more than a 205/50/15 on either rim?

Thanks for the input, I am going to make a purchasing decision soon. I was also thinking that I could save some cash on the rotas and put it to that wilwood kit I have been wanting to get.

It's hard to put a price on something like this. I wager that everyone would buy a 15x7, given equal price. Lower-cost options are beginning to appear, but you're right... you're looking at ~$600.

Personally, I will be selling my 6.5" wheels when the tires are gone to move to 7".

I figured you guys would say 15x7s. I also want to make sure the rim I pick will fit the 11"fastbrakes wilwood kit.

Kosei K1s - isn't it a 45 offset? Whats the widest tire anyone has put on that rim and where can I get it shipped cheap? I was also thinking about the Volk gram lights.

I think they come in different offsets. I think mine is a 38 or 40.

Has anyone used the Azenis on a 6.5 the switched to a 7" to feel the difference if there was much at all?
