When I bought my HGT it came with 16'' alloys which I understand to be larger than the norm in that they were 15'' as standard. I am now on the look out for some new wheels as these are about knackered. Should I go back to the original 15'' or stick with 16''.? In tyres it would be cheaper to go back to 15'' but would I loose some grip? I could do with some advice!
 
grip would be comparable if you stick with good tyres (geddit?lol)
i have had 14" steelies, 15" 16" and 17" alloys on my bravo, and i have settled on lightweight OZ 16" alloys. The 17's were a bit cheap, so they were heavy and clumsy; the ride and handling was very poor. 15's did nothing in the looks department, but if your car is standard, then go with 15's, because the grip,ride and handling was fine.
If you have a few cheeky wee mods then stick with the 16's

DEFINITELY upgrade the tyres on that package

unless its a premium priced package, you should never take the first tyre offering!
you'll get such disappointing tyres.
it pays to pay for the premium ones, be it Toyo or falken or whatever else they offer...
