Genuine Hyundai rims are expensive.Go aftermarket or second hand Hyundai rims if you want to go bigger.Just remember that every inch bigger you go, costs you in ride comfort and noise, but they do look better.So it's a case of getting the right mix of size, comfort & looks - whatever you're happy with.
Won't have a margin effect on speedo/odo teading?
16's will do fine if all you want is to replace steel with alloy.if you want to get wheels for looks or performance then 17 or even 18 inch will be better.What is your desire?
Why do you want to change give your low annual mileage?On my car i'm more than happy with the 15"
Any pics for example plz craigb?

Will not be a huge visual difference. Not sure if your car model comes with Alloys or steel wheels and covers? To improve the look of some of my wife's previous cars we kept the same tyres(to save cost) but upgraded the steel wheels to nice alloy wheels that were on special.
They are definitely alloy and quite nice (similar to the 16" wheels on my wife's tourer on signature picture below)

They will probably be heavier.
Perhaps but I think 17" will weigh more unless you go for a magnesium alloy which is very expensive. The extra unsprung weight will affect handling and ride, especially on uneven surfaces.
