16's will look better, 15's perform better.

I'd get 16's, but if there's a HUGE difference in weight, then go with 15's. It also depends on the offset, I think, since you'll be lowered on coilovers.

Kimona is the wheel expert, so I'd wait for him to chime in.

15x6.5, ET40 or 16x7, ET40? Both will work very well with 195mm tyres and coilovers.

Which size "will look better"?... 16's with 195/50's.

I'll go 16 as well, having had them on the old Yar. Just right.

I say 16s cause they are wider.

16" with 195/50 is basically a 15" with 185/60 (stock); and probably one of the better choices. are you going to autocross? I'd def. go smaller than 16" if so

These Spun rims are going to be used for Daily Driving

I'm going to buy separate forged rim/tires for track use.

16's for sure.

I've been debating with myself on what size to get except my problem has been..."16's or 17's?"

I'm pretty much decided on 16's because I need to maintain a good balance of looks and practicality.
