If your gonna get a combat kit then you will need 17s for them not to look small and stupid, ive seen the new ikon plus and they look like a very nice rim:D

i was gonna get the matrix's, but i was told that at 7.5 x 17 as opposed to the more usual 7 x 17, they are a lot harder to fit without serious arch work. And i agree with kenny - far too many combat kitted corsas around. I know its hard to be original now, but combat kits are probably the most common!

get some huge stoppers and caliper and lob some matis ones on... not to good on a corsa with puny brakes tho.

i paid 165 quid for a set of toyo proxes 194/45/16
to be honest i wont buy them again because the grip in the wet is diabolical. i recommend bf goodridge all the way.
350-400 is the standard price for rims mate of that quality.
for tyres look:

hi, i have a pretty much standard star silver corsa B (1998). it hasnt been kitted yet but it will have a combat kit on soon. i am not sure which wolfrace wheels to get. the ones i have shortlisted are:
mantis
urban racer
ikon plus
quantum

ikon plus and quantum are my faves atm

i have a 1.2 8 valve atm but next yr i am having a 2.0 16b lobbed in.

what size dya recon i shud go for? 15/17 or possibly 16 (if they do them)
and also.....
