   The Xsara/Picasso run 15in steelies. That's probably about the biggest OEM steelie you're going to find. whether they're the correct offset though I don't know. If you're heart is set on 16in you're probably going to have to look at more expensive aftermarket stuff or maybe even getting OEM rims re-banded to 16in.

   16 inch steelies would look weird IMO
   
   smaller steelies looks great
   14/15 would be perfect

   yes you can you just re section on a jig heat and re weld them. They do it a lot over in the states on spoked bike wheels on harley's. boss had his done on his harley and cost him 200 per wheel.
   
   best bet is with the xsara 15's and paint the lip a different colour than the centres.
   
   Then if you decide you like them you can decide if you want to go banded or to euro alloys.
