Khiem,

For someone who has a turbo or likes to road race, I would not recommend the
stock 6" wide  B14 SE-R wheels. But if you must, then go with the 195/50s and
the S-03s. Hard to find a better street tire, *and* it's a great value.

Ideally, you should get a 7" wide wheel matched up to 205 wide tires. Go with
15x7 or 16x7. The tire will be stretched out more across the width of the
wheel, giving you better response and less squirm.

One more option - keep your stock wheels for use on the street, and put on
some cheap 195s like Kumho 712s, and then spring for a set of 15x7 or 16x7
wheels with race rubber.
