Those look really nice, but in my opinion the 15" wheels seem kinda small. I saw an xA with 17" wheels and they looked great. If you can, try to find another xA with 15" wheels to see if you think they might be too small. Although on the plus side, if you get the 15" ones then you won't need to buy new tires. But really you should get what you want, if you like 15" then get those.

Also, FYI our stock steel rims are 15"x6" +38 offset. The ones your looking at are 15X6.5 +40 offset, I don't think this will cause problems but you might want to look into that because that might mean that you will need a different kind of tire.

Those look pretty nice. If you like em then go for em. I love my 15" rims (Konig Feathers, also an 8spoke rim) perfect for driving over all the crappy roads by me, nice smooth ride, and they have a surprising amount of grip. My rims r 15x6.5 and I'm still useing the stock Goodyears and there is no problem. The tires move out just alil more but they look really good. A 15x7 would really be pushing it and I wouldn't recommend it. Just make sure to run more air pressure over the facotry recommendation. I find that 32psi is just right, anything more and the car becomes to jittery, but other than that these rims on stock tires will not cause u any problems.

You can use the stock 185/60R15 tires on a 15x7 without any problems.

I'd actually recommend a 15x7 over a 15x6 anyway, you'll have a slightly wider track and a bit more grip if you go with a new set of tires. I'd recommend putting a new set of tires on the new wheels in a 205/55R15 size, personally. This way, if you keep the stock tires/wheels together, you can use them as winter shoes so your shiny new wheels don't get damaged by salt and potholes in the winter.

Just in case you didn't know, discounttire.com has this cool thing where you can see what your car looks like with different kinds of wheels. Check it out here if you haven't already... http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/int...259&vid=008415

After you pick the color of you car select Konig brand and then Britelite wheels, It should show you something similar to what you picked out but in 16". Anyways, thought I might share this, its a good way to window shop.

dunno, these look good from an angle, but IMO, those multi-fitment rims (4x100 and 4x113) look like cr@p. Those unused lug holes make it look cheap.

YMMV
