I would go with the 17" wheels but use a tire that will give you the same overall diameter as the 15" wheel, with some sidewall showing. I don't like the look of big wheels and thin tires on C3's. IMO the wheels/tires need to fill the wheelwells to complete the design of the car.

I vote gunmetal 17s.
I like the old school look of the "as cast" gray centers.
The stock tire diameter is 27". A 255/50-17 is also 27" tall and will not look like a "rubberband" as well as fill the wheel well.
