not only will they look too big, they'll make it handle worse, and accelerate slower.

i doubt i would notice it acceleratin slower to be honest. ive run 17's before on my old nova and didnt notice any difference in the handling between them and the 16's i had on it. if anything the 17's where lighter on the steering for some reason

6 spokes only really work in 10x18.
and the 5 spokes pictured aren't vauxhall fitment ones, the spokes are different...

6 spoke ones look better.
Have you got tie bar lowering brackets fitted and do you still run a front ARB?
