Get 15s mate, they will reduce your unsprung weight, lower your centre of gravity and imo look better on a Nova (more proportionate). Im sure you could sell the 17s and entirely fund a decent set of 15s.
Plus tyres will be cheaper for 15s :)

Not necessarily, my 18" wheels are lighter than my old 16" wheels.

But if you chose the 16 inch version of your 18s (if they make such a thing) they would be lighter still as there is less metal...lol

They don't do a 16" version. Not sure if they do a 17" version tbh LOL

Tyres can vary in weight a great deal as well
