i think 16 would b a better all around tire for looks and performance. they also have more choice in tires that u can buy. most tire companies dont make a 15inch tire. i have looked such as u cant get yokohama paradas in 15 only 16. so u have more choices with 16s

dont do a tire offset from front to rear, theres no point in having bigger/wider tires in the rear for a FWD car.. its like putting a big *** wing on the back of a FWD car, no damn point.. and if you put bigger tires on the rear, you wont be able to rotate them, well you will but it'll look retarded

look at volk too, they might be too much but check them out, or some bronze colored rota's..

If you want all out performance than go with a lightweight 15. There are a lot of lightweight 16's as well and you would get a lil better performance out of them.

Stock GSR rims with Kumho tires weigh 142lbs

15inch Rota Slipstreams with Toyo T1S tires weigh 121. lbs

Both size 205/50/15 That is a reduction of 21lbs of unsprung weight from a STOCK wheel with a upgrade in tire size.
