15s? Are you sure?
Anyways, let us know what kind of wheels are you kind of looking for. Specs like offsets, spokes, color, etc would help narrow it down.

http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/superspun.html would these be worth while. im not trying to spend a huge amount of money. ive seen people running these before so i thought i would ask. is weight and such decent?

steel wheels are HEAVY.. i've felt a set of 15x8's and they are in no way light. you could use them for the slicks but that's a lot of unsprung weight. as for 15x8's not custom made in our bolt pattern, i dunno if they even make them.. 16 inch plus are made.. but ive never seen a 15x8 5x114.3 production wheel. i could be wrong though!!

Mine are 4x100 15x8 Rota, but they make 5x114.3 too. I want to say it's +40mm offset. I got a pair for $255 shipped.
