Hey Scott, go tirerack.com/tires by brand/Michelin/size/205/65/15Agilis/specs and you'll see all the tech info on the tire. 802 revs per mile in this case.

I thought the 215/65/16's were pretty close, right?

It depends on the brand/model.

Stock 185R14 rolls around 800-810 revs per mile, depending on the brand/model (Yoko Y356 is 808). The speedos are also marked, which is an indication of what VW expected - the one I'm looking at is marked 805.

I use the Falken Ziex ZE-912 in 215/60R16 99H. They do 808 revs/mile.
