15 is better obviously but both work, if your car is stock height they will both look dumb.

discount tire direct has those 15" rims at $95 a piece, but you get $50 off from a set, so it's $330 for a set. Tires shouldn't be more than $100 a piece, plus some of their tires you get $50 off.
don't forget, if you go in and talk to them, they'll automatically try to get as much money out of you as they can. which means charging for mount and balance at 15 a pop and insurance at 10-20 each and disposal fee and tax and whatever other fees.

with a little haggling, you'll easily get the mount for free, sometimes i get one free replacement for free, and a decent discount on each wheel and tire along with their usual instant rebates

You're doing something wrong. I bought those same 15" wheels (different color) from discounttiredirect.com with tires for $580. Would have been only a little more if I opted for their "install kit" and the tire warranties.

What tires are you trying to buy?

I just replaced my Yokohama AVID T4s with Kumhos. The Yokos at a tread life of 60,000 miles but only lasted 40,000 with extremely moderate driving (no hard corning, burnouts, etc). I just bought some Kumho Ecsta LX Platinums, and I love them so far. In fact, my father has the same Kumhos as I have now on his Saab 9-5, and they have lasted 61,000 miles so far. So just a heads up if you are really set on buying Yokohamas.

ah alright trust... i knew 195's were the right width... the guy from discount said 205/50R15...
and 99lx i got kumhos on now and been havin them for a year and no problems yet... only that i had a flat this past monday... but yeah.

i just got home from the shop where my car is now and they said they're givin me around 570 bucks for the hood since it has to be replaced and the insurance doesn't cover it since it has a slight dent that wasn't caused by the accident.

Yea, 205 is not the right size.
