Rims for light track duty

Im looking at picking up a set of rims for my SE to be dedicated track day tyres. Looking at second hand 15inch there's a lot of variances out there.
What width and offset should I be looking at? 7inch wide, +45?
And what rubber would be best suited?
205/50r15?
Would stock NB8A 15's be fine? (doesn't need to be super light at this point in time)

The SE is lowered a bit so don't want crazy wide or offsets that are going to rub.

Main reason for these is cheaper rubber than the 17's to be annihilated on the track :wink:

For light track work 15x6.5s are good enough, cheap and plentiful. They take 205 and 195/50R15s well. Offsets around 28-35mm are best. You just have to make sure they fit around SE brakes before you buy.
