If you want another alloy - which style? If it's to go in your boot a 225 tyre wont fit, that's why Vauxhall put a 195 on a steel as a spare.

It's not cos of the rim size, it's cos of the width of the tyre ie 195 instead of 225. The 15" rim will have more or less the same rolling diameter as the 16" as the wall is bigger on the 15". As the rim size goes up the profile comes down to make the overall size the same.
