As Chris said it comes down to personal preference at the end of the day.

The only think I can think of that might help you it too take a pic of you car and then open it in photoshop and keeping putting alloys on it untill you find the ones you like

I'd imagine you'd be alright going 40mm on 17"s - any more and you'll find that the inner rear arch lip might catch a bit - thats easily sorted though.

the alloys are ok, but i fancy a change, i really wanna get hold of the wheels from the newer SRI (5 spoke fan blades) in My opinion they are alot better, its just a shame Vauxhall have had em on back order for 3 months
