I can't for the life of me find a set of wheels to be content with. Help me out guys. I don't want anything flashy or gaudy. Simple and lightweight. 15"ers Only.
I like these

http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?wheelbrand=Katana&wheelmodel=KR5+%2D+Black
I like these because they look alot like the gls hubcaps and that's kinda what I'm going for

Discount tire doesn't have any 15's that will fit. I have looked at a lot of different sites but I have come up short. There are a lot of wheels in 15's out there but most of them are 4X100

The Konig Zero's are my favorite there, but they are hella expensive.

99 bucks a piece is expensive? I was thinking that was a good price
Also does anyone have any other ideas? These are the only 3 I saw that appealed to me on any level.

Would have to say the sport or the rs5. Odd that you say lightweight tho, cause the sports weigh .5lb more than my 16s.
So go with the RS5s, as Enkei is good company and those are likely to weigh around 15lb.

i think if you're going to go with 15's, you should get something thats lighter colored and wider spokes. I think that will make them look bigger and distract from the larger tire size. If you have too much going on, the small details will stick out more than the overal wheel.
