Sorry no picture, I'm still running 15". I will say this. I use to work at Dunlop/Goodyear tire and the word going around back then is that 16" were going to go the way of 15", just harder and harder to come by. That isn't going to be in the next few years but it'll probably happen. Now, most people don't care because they don't keep their vehicles 30, 40, 50 yrs. So if your going to keep the car you may want to consider going to the 17" rims.
Just my 2 cents worth(actually worth nothing)
You might get one of the tire and wheel sites to show how they look on a C3.

Try tirerack.com. You can put in the year and color of your car, and the website will "try on" different style wheels in different sizes. If you order, however, I'd call them to make sure they'll clear the trailing arms and other bits under the car.

I just bought some Cooper Cobras 235/60 15 from Discount Tire..er..Tyre for 80 bucks each. Try them. Might not be 80 but might be a lot cheaper than 375, and they are as good, if not better than the BFGs.
