Personally I would prefer to just get rims of the higher end variant of the Mobilio, than get tiny 15" aftermarket rims.
My general rule is to go 1-2" bigger than stock rims when upgrading. Otherwise parang sayang lang. Of course it's personal preference. Kung nagagandahan ka sa 15" Rota edi go ahead. Importante naman ikaw yung masaya

Sir all mobilio models have 15" AFAIK.

Yup. That's the point. Kung same size lang din naman, OEM nalang. Weird talaga for me yung aftermarket na maliit. At least pag OEM na maliit ok lang kasi nga OEM-look naman.
All Mobilios use 185/65 R15 tires too so rims lang talaga papalitan.
Again, different strokes for different folks. I always go for subtle mods for all my cars, some people prefer otherwise.

Ah I see. You called the 15" tiny kasi sir so I assumed you thought high end models have larger wheels. Sorry

I hope you can still accommodate my comments sir. A couple of friends of mine, who used to race cars as a hobby & are verified car nuts, advised me against buying China or Taiwan replica rims. They said there have been numerous instances wherein those rims cracked or shattered. They always recommend Rotas or OEMs (maski surplus). Color na lang ang piliin mo. One popular color nowadays is Gun metallic. It does a good job of hiding scratches. As for your tires, your 185/65/15s have a diameter of 621 mm. For a better look & handling, it will be better to get a set that is a little wider, say 195 or 205 width. Just be mindful that you are within 3% of 621mm.

BTW, as for the rim size, if your route takes you to areas that have lots of potholes, better stick to 15s. If you will still consider an upgrade, a 16" rim would make a lot of difference as far as looks is concerned & be better than a 17" as far as ride quality is concerned (& will also affect your suspension components).
