So, 15x6.5?
Any thoughts on light wheels that come in 4x100 and 15x6.5 for 2014?

Here's what came up from Tire Rack.
Or perhaps 16x7 is possible as well? Not sure on that one.

On my 09, I had been running 205/50/16 Z1's on 16x6.5. I just picked up a set of 225/45/16 Z2's and while they fit on the 16x6.5 they are pinched a bit. Steering feel seems a bit more numb. Only two events on them, both in the wet. I'm sure they would be happier on wider rim. If it was an option for the 09's (I'm not sure it is), I'd want the 7" rim (appears to an option for the last couple of years). So, 225s fit, but I have no proof they are any faster or slower than a 205 of the same tire (Z2).
I'd be concerned with trying the 15's for fear of needing to upshift to 3rd frequently, especially for higher speed venues (nationals type events). Would definitely be an advantage for slower/tighter courses. Another upside would be additional tire selection.
When I ran against Jack Burns locally this year, he was on 225/45/16 Z2's (16x6.5 wheel).

thank you - that input was very helpful. If it fits on the 16x6.5, even pinched, it will definitely fit on 16x7 - that'll add about 12.7 more mm. Good to hear there's no rubbing for the 225/45-16s though - it's actually almost a perfect match to the stock (175/65-15) as far as overall diameter goes. I think I'm pretty set on going with 16x7 here though. RPF1s are looking like the most "reasonable" option

I'm considering running an H-Street Mini for 2014, so I've been looking at wheel options as well. Looks like the Rota Circuit 10 might be a good budget option:

15x6.5
4x100
+45 offset
13 pounds

Curious, what is your reason for wanting to go with 16x7's?
