If you have #6(stock wheels) in 15 x 7.5, and don't want to go +1 or +2, it doesn't seem like it would be worth the extra $$$ just to change looks. When faced with this same situation, I changed the stock wheels on my 88 750 to Breyton Inspirations in 17 x 8.5. I posted a pic in the photo gallery if you are interested. This gave me a handling improvement plus a dramatic change in looks. This was worth the $$ IMHO. According to the Tire Rack web site, the wheels in 15 x 7.5 are somewhat limited. Good Luck, but think about going to a 16 or 17" wheel. You will never go back to 15s. The only drawback is the brake dust is out of control after a few days of driving. This will be temporary as I will be changing from the stock pads to Mintex with ATE Power disc rotors.
