Some of the domestic tire manufacturers have started to completely drop 15 from their tire lines.
Soon you will only be able to get 15 inch tires that are made in China garbage.
Your best bet is 16 inch wheels.

Then you have lug centric and hub centric. I don't know which subaru uses and I don't know which one VW uses. I think they both use lug centric.
What about the back spacing?
Will the 15 inch wheel clear the front brake caliper?
I have no problems finding 14 inch wheels. Some of the best selling new cars come with 14's. I haven't paid much attention to it, but are 15's more rare?

EDIT: With 15's being standard equipment on a 2017 Toyota Corolla, I have a hard time imagining them going away.
