Now the question is, which model have you opted for? If the variant is sportz or asta, you would need to sell the original alloys. It will  fetch you around Rs 15,000. And the tire with steel rim and caps will ftech you around Rs 1500/ tire. 

If you are planning to upgrade the tire with the width of 195mm, be ready to have a compromise of FE down to 2kms/ litre on a 1.2 asta and also power loss.

Yes, i would agree with the opinion of Soori. But i feel there is an option for this mileage reduction while replacing alloy wheels. You can match the weight of you present wheel with the new alloy wheel while selecting. The higher weight is one of the reasons reducing mileage. Also see the width of the alloy rim (this also leads to mileage reduction). Let that also match with your original rim. (there are various types/models of alloy wheels are available now a days). One more factor to be noticed that, when you are going for wide tyres, the tyre will project outside the body and there is always a possibility for getting the sides of car dirty with mud. Also it is very important which brand you are selecting. Very low priced alloy wheels means you are compromising in quality. That may lead to danger. Never compromise on the quality when it comes to Tyres and Wheels.

to add to the point. wider the tite, rolling resistance will be higher. even this will reduce the mileage.
