Get a 6" wide wheel.
The 2nd set is the best, but if they aren't in stock then there isn't anything you can do.

Every car I have owned has had a turbo in it, until I bought this latest festiva.. I plan to fix that though.Comment

If you will be running 195mm wide tires, the 6" wide wheels should be sufficient. Another half-inch just adds weight and possible fitment issues.
Unfortunately, I have noticed that many newer wheels' smallest sizes are 15 X 6.5" wide, so you may not be able to get the optimal wheel width.
If you run 205s or 215s then the 6.5" wide wheels would be a good fit.
Just my opinion. Consult the various manufacturers' recommendations for matching tire and wheel widths. Also, there may be a formula somewhere to use, but I've never seen one.
