17" looks good on the Jazz.. but I personally think they are a bit too big... and I've heard that the trade off would be slow acceleration as compare to 15"...
I will go for 16 or 15... I remember seeing someone from OZHONDA selling a set of those.. Do a search there mate... (that's if you want a second hand set)

yeah....the biggest that i am looking will be 16".
but as what philip always told me, make sure you check with your insurance company to see if they allow this mod. that is if you buy insurance for your car.

depends on states, usually u can go 2 inches in size and 1 inch in width.
if u have a vits which has 15 x 5.5, u can go to 17 x 6.5. however 17 x 6.5 is a very rare size. most 17s start at 7inches.
personally i'd go to 16" max

make it simple lah.. U want fuel efficiency or appearance??... bigger rims not only could get higher fuel consumption but also need to pay more for tires as well... ^^ I guess I will prefer 15".. mugen look ..

im not too sure about the insurance thing..
but its possible to get light weight 17s...
im mainly on look... and fuel consumptiom, how much is it gonna overload? maybe increase my car to a 1.7 or 1.8, since i already have a power intake.. that no big hassel for me... i use to have a commodore V6 3.8L ... so im use to it.

17 light weight could be lighter than some 15"s and 16"s.. but due to bigger, wider tyres which will increase roll diameters and also increase rolling resistance.. the fuel consumption will be higher than before... But.. like you said.. you drive Holden V6 before.. so, slight increase in fuel does not matter much to you... ;D ... 17" does look better tho..  |

light weight = big bucks. depends on how deep your pocket is i suppose.
