nah!
you won't be noticing much.  It's a bitch no matter what wheels you
have.  Now if you had 225 and up wide tires, THEN you'd be really
struggling, but I have 185's on my non-power-steering car and it's fine
and with 15x7's you'd get 195's so I doubt you'll have much trouble.  Go
for it!  Looks are more important than function anyway!  =)  right,
right?
