    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.

    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.
