#2 What would you say would be the best method to attach them? My rims are forged aluminum with 15 spokes. If these were cheapo rims, I would just drill and tap holes into them at high strength areas. But, this is a brand new car with expensive OEM rims. So, I want input from you guys about the best way to go about this.

1. Definitely 18" pans for your 17" wheels. My 17" pans leave just the rim open on my 16" wheels.
2. Hard to suggest a different attachment method when using aluminum. Need To secure it better than if discs were plastic due to danger to others if you lose one.
I am going to drill and tap mine. But my car is 9 years old and my wheels and my plan should work well. Maybe plastic would be better for you with zip ties.
Here is my last update on my pizza pans with pictures and plan:
