    I think I depends on the actual wheel. Since some have a thick lip and some dont.

    Actually, it's the face that usually interferes, not the lip... go figure. Your best bet is to test fit.
    Maybe 4 wheels aren't so bad after all... wickett.org

    If you're looking for specific wheels that will fit, there are plenty... See Goodwin's site, or search the pointy board or ask for specific recommendations... One of the best values is the Konig Helium like Titus has on the yellow car.

    Both my stock 15s and my 15" Rota C8s fit over the sport brakes...

    But your "stock" wheels are off of a NB. Different offset.

    I recently have installed Kosie K1-TS rims on my '05 MSM.

    I wanted to buy the Enkei RP-F1 rims, but was informed by Good-win Racing that they will not fit.

    Another wheel you might like is the 6UL rims from 949racing

    949 will fit but they only make a silver and nickel rim (not making black ones any more) and i'm not in the light colored rims
