Here is a good upgrade for you.

15 x 6....4 x 100,I think the offset is about +40.

factory offset on an NA is +45mm.

Factory width on a 1990 was 5.5\".

NB rims are a good upgrade as Lou suggested; whatever you choose, make sure it's light weight!

7 KG is considered light for 17" not 15".
I think you should look for around 5 KG for 15 "
