those wheels are 15x6.5

there's no "best" wheel. What do you wnat? Strength, lightweight, cheap?

I think the Kosei K1 or the New 15x7 enkei is going to be your best choice. Fairly light, cheap enough to have some spares and strong enough to not get bent up.

He was talking about these: http://www.esses.us/smw/smw.htm

I like them. Plus the wheels RJ said too. Plus the Team Dynamics Pro Racing. I just have no money for wheels.

ATS Comp lite, Borbet stuff is pretty inexpensive and not too heavy (Type B,E,H if you can find any Type T), and Kosei K1.
If cost isn't an issue, the SSR Competition.

I use this quite often as a reference while browsing for wheels:
