Need tire / rim advice

I have a 1989 90Q with the BBS rims and 195/60-14 Michelins MXV3's.
The rims, in a word, stink. I am thinking of buying new rims and
thought of going to a 15 inch rim with a 205/50-15 tire. My question
is this: How will the change in tire size effect the handling
characteristics of the car? Also, any suggestions on where to go for
rims and tires in the Newton MA / Boston MA area? Thanks in advance.
