Sorry, I cannot say anything positive or negative about Plati alloy wheels simply because I have not come acoss them. Two things I can say though, one, the rim that you have shown interest in (PR-1410) is not a direct fit for Honda City 2011 because the Offset is too short (ET30) and the Centre Bore dia (CB 67.1) is bigger than ANHC's hub CB of 56.1 mm. Two, I don't see any standards of approval on Plati's website, like certifications from TUV, JAA, ISO, etc. That will be a deterrent for me to buy something from there. So, look for quality assurance certification from any manufacturer because wheels and tyres are critical safety components as far as I am concered.
I have used quite a few alloy wheels between 1979 and 1995. I will approve all them, but they are very expensive and may not have a suitable size for ANHC. These, in progressive order of upgrades are, Alpina, BMW factory alloys, Borbet and last and the best BBS (two sets because one set was stolen). In India my research led me to HRS of Taiwan, who happen have a very decent reputation for quality and reasonable prices. I have not put enough mileage on them to say, close your eyes and buy them. I have earlier mentioned a few brands, brands that I only know from friends and my garage: HRS-Taiwan, Freeman Racing, X2 Wheels, OZ Wheels, MOMO-Italy.
These are the 3 important number you have to hold on to when replacing same diameter wheels with alloys (15") in ANHC (2002 to 2013):
1.
PCD :
100 mm / 4 Holes (
any deviation here and the wheel
WILL NOT FIT).

2.
Offset (ET): positive
48 mm* (up to +/- 3% will show no undesired effect)
Note 1 : Offset is based on the rim width, wider the rim lesser the Offset in order to maintain the same or similar profile in relation to the wheel arch profile (so that it does not jut outside the car). I cannot find the specs provided by Honda India. This is a number (+48*) I got from Australian blogs and wheel dealers as OEM and probably refers to 185/55R15 on 5.5J width wheels.
Note 2 : In selecting a wheel with lesser positive offset, one can increase it to the desired level by bolting on a spacer between the alloy wheel and wheel mount hub. Say, if you get a wheel with ET32 offset, then a 6mm to 8mm spacer will bring the wheel out to desired factory settings. Same diameter alloy rim with ET45 will protrude outside by 7mm and nothing can be done to reduce it to factory level. Too much of a wheel/tyre protrusion outside the wheel arch can be DANGEROUS. Such car-model-specific spacers to increase the ET may be available with better wheel/tyre dealers.

Note 3: My HRS alloys specs are 15 x 6,5J, ET+40 and CB 56.1mm with 195/60R15 tyres. Yes it is slightly more outward than stock, but the wheel and tyre combo does not protrude one bit out side the profile of the wheel arches.
3.
CB (Centre Bore diameter):
56.1 mm (+1% tolerance may be acceptable.
Smaller, it won't fit).
Note 4 : This is the diameter of the hole on the alloy wheel which is inserted into the wheel axle hub.
Note 5 : Similar to the ET offset spacer, a hub ring spacer may be commercially available if the CB diameter is larger than specs (56.1 mm).
Note 6 : Car specific ET spacers will have this dimension incorporated. If a custom made spacer has to manufactured at a local mechanical machine-shop lathe, then this dimensions have to be provided. (I wouldn't take this course)
