Could try golf wheels. They are 4x100. Not sure on Centre bores. Although I had some mk2 golf wheels on a corsa b ok.

I'd probably favour the Astra H 4 nut over the Nissan - the latter having 60.1mm centre bore.

Astra offset is lower though - I assume these are a pair of rear wheels for racing?

16 OK?

Not convinced that's a wise wheel decision given your choice of tyres. Do you get many Z rated 115s?

Holes in the rear bumper will actually increase drag as it will draw air into the area, no holes and air pressure will create a natural diffuser. Had a good conversation about this with a knowledgeable chap on piston heads

By the look of the pic he has cut the back panel away - so no holes would make the bumper a scoop?

in a way yes. they are tested for long periods at certain constant speeds, and this is where the 50mph comes from. its just a safe speed for the operating temperatures of the compound under prolonged use. 13-14 seconds on a drag strip won't be a problem though

Only until there's a cushion of air inside it, as soon as you get a build up of higher pressure air in there, any new air which comes to enter it is deflected away.

Alternatively if you cut holes, you don't allow the pressure to build so the air can enter the inside of the bumper, where it needs to be funneled out of the holes, which has a cost in terms of drag.
