Farghmee,
I am having a similar thinking like you...I was looking for a City OEM 16 inch too. Honda salesman asked me to top up another RM1k to trade in my 15 inch alloy wheels and tyres, while getting this new City wheels with tyres. Too bad I didn't take up the offer as I think the offer is a bit pricey.
As in why for City 16inch OEM rims? I think it was because of the following reasons:
(1) easily available from new City owners who want to immediately getting a better looking racing wheels,
(2) price isn't too pricey if you can source it from a reputable tyre shop with certain mileage done,
(3) shinny on its twin spokes while matt on the internal (it will have that eye glaring effect if car moves under bright sunny days - very suitable for those who want to flaunt your Jazz with the wheels),
(4) H. Jazz looks stunning with 16 alloy wheels, 15 or 14 inch way too tiny and undersized for it.
(5) It looks like the following rims used in Indonesia for its higher spec'd Jazz known as RS.

(6) Other sentimental reasons that stay deep in your heart when the rim is first captured by your eyes.
I am purchasing an OEM 16 inch wheels which were used on Grade V Jazz launched during 2008 (Photos below). I am sending the wheels for some treatment such as removal of peeling paint works, resurfacing of wheels for a shinnier look, cleaning and washing to clear dust and debris. RM850 all in except for tyres. Gosh, I was having a hard time trying to source them at my area and luckily was able to find one at a tyre shop!

the only reason i can think of buying stock wheels is that aftermarket rims very seldom can get the same width.. so, if one were to go for something like 17"... they will be stuck with a 7j rim at least if not a 7.5j meaning to run 205mm wide tires...heck... even 16" is now very common with 7j already and the city 16" if i am not wrong is only 5.5j.. which is not possible to find in the after market segment...
actually... even 17" looks a bit small on it... if you look at only the rear end... the wheels does look a tad tiny... the fronts are OK.. tats is why most owners who goes for looks lower their car down to fill the wheel arches up... that way, it looks more proportionately correct...
