Default Not really a new thread but got fed-up searching

Well guys I have spent quite a bit of time searching but coming up with no definitive answer so here goes and don't get ratty.
I am looking for what the recommended off set is for the roadster wheels also the wheel width.
I am using Sierra hubs and I like the mini-lights so I intend talking to midlands wheels at the show this weekend.
I am looking at 15" wheels but don't know what the off-set should be, I think its like that electrickery, BLACK MAGIC

But... I don't think you'll find 15" minilite style wheels you are happy with. That was the look i was after and i concluded they just don't look right that big. If you do find some that you think look good let me know!

I think 6"is the standard width for haynes builds, although my donor is 5.5...

Well I caught up with the guys from midlands wheels and he said that the off-set that we need sends the spec into competition spec then the cost for mini lights went up to £550 for just the rims dont think I will be going there
