    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.

      why do you think a 6 inch wide wheel would be better?

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

        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.
