12 spoke rims? 16 inch wheels should have 225 tyres fitted. your're speedo will be reading incorrectly and possibly having the wrong tyres will affect your insurance :-/

Are they Mondeo 12 spokes? Mondeo ones have a raised rim around the edge of the wheel.

Chrome 12 spokes were an option and yes they are quite rare, especially in good condition. I'll bet they've been fitted with smaller tyres in the past to save some money
