The black 17" inch alloys will look great with your colour choice of red with black bumbs, but worth considering that with the 17" will be increased road surface noise especially on motorways. The car I test drove had 16" and was much quieter.

If you are using studded winter tyres like most of us use in Finland in winter I think there is no big difference in noise whether you choose 16" or 17" wheels. The studs will create some noise anyway. But driving comfort may be better with 16" on bumpy roads with ice and snow.

For my winter tyres I bought 16" Ronal R54 Jetblack wheels which are glossy black with a red circle at the edge of the wheel. They should fit Cactus, though they haven't been installed yet.

I have the same colour car but with 17" Silver wheels. It breaks up the black.
