I would like to purchase black mesh wheels with polished or chrome lip for my 68 roadster, I will not be changing anything suspension wise I currently have 15' and would like to stay with that size, what are my options?
Sorry i am not good with wheels and sizes thus I am asking for your help. Ultimately I would like to go a little wider. if that means I would have to go down to 14" I would not mind.
Can any members help me please?

sounds like Enkei 92 wheels, looks like they would take some spacers. But I'm not too sure if inset is the same as offset. Maybe a search on the forum could find some pics.

Stay with 15". There are many more tire brands and size choices. I will let more knowledgeable people help you with width sizes. It really depends on your offset. Since you are buying new, you can select the best offset to suit your preferred tire width.

Enkei, Riken and a few other brands have mesh/polished lips wheels. I would cruise the typical internet forum classifieds for a nice used set.
I can post a few pic of these on roadsters tonight.
In general, 15x6 +15 offset wheels on 195/50/15 or 195/55/15 is safe on stock suspension.

Would you consider these "mesh" or more like the Enkei 92 style?
