Don't absolutly trust the website, I have a set of 9000 "soft spoke" wheels and the webpage says they're 15x6.5, when mine clearly are 15x6! It says so on the rim, so the webpage is incorrect. I've seen those rims you're talking about and seen other "hard to find" wheels also listed on the page. I choose mine because they were 6" wide with ET30. I have 205/55-15 tires on them mounted on my classic 900 with lowering springs and have no issues clearance-wise. Remember, the wider the wheel, the more you'll have to pump up the tire to stay on, especially with spirited driving! The lower profile 55 series tire is sportier and less compliant than the stock 60 series tires. It will be a slightly harsher ride. If you really get 6.5 or 7.0" rims, you may consider 215 tires, they're alittle wider than the 205's for more traction, but that 215 tire size is rare and you might be limited in brands and type of tire ie summer only sport tires...
