go for 17s if u can, as there isn't a major difference looks wise between the standard 15s and 16s ur looking for.

From ur list i'd say the 100+ wheels
Maybe some 1000 miglia evo 5s?

I've heard people say there was a loss in performance with 17" and also the ride isn'y very good. I chose 16" as its probably the best of both worlds.

I found this old photoshop I did with Focus ST170 wheels. I think Multi-spoke wheels look mint on a Corsa C.

Not very good but you get the idea.

I ha 16s on my corsa c mate and then i got 17s start of this year and i must admit, it dont pull away as quick...but it handles a lot better with the 17s on and feels more stabel on the motorway and at high speeds.

End of the day mate, our cars aren't really built for speed. You will notice better grip (depending on tyres) with larger wider wheels, and look better over all.
The difference in speed would be minimal, and handling would be similar unless you lower the car, which will make the rider stiffer.

tornados + tyres u can get in 16" for 470 notes in hi power silver from south west tyres in bristol. they look similar to imolas but imo better, they also look a lot like oz superleggers or the ones simliar to that. Plus u save a lot of cash.
