You could try Peugeot wheels. They seem to have more dish to them, and the 406 ones come in 15" flavour. Also Citroen C5 wheels look like steels but are actually alloy.
Other than that try http://www.midlandwheels.com/, they've got plenty of choice.

Measure the offset of your current wheels as a comparison for when you buy new ones..
