I was actually looking at some rims today and saw that if I went with 15x7" I'd have more to choose from as opposed to 15x6.5", as recommended by this thread. I want to go as light as I can for a reasonable price on the wheels. Maybe Enkei or something.
So how much can I deviate from "the letter of the law"?

Are there any trade-offs? Most tires seem to fit a range (such as 5"-7" for instance), so that wouldn't affect the tire selection much. What would I sacrifice/risk with a 15x7 setup?
