I used CIS, I did have corsa C alloys on my B, but the woman on the phone said it didn't matter if they were vauxhall or not, still alloys. I added them at a later date, but with no extra cost.
Also found with elephant.co.uk that you can tick that you have aftermarket alloys, and costs around £40 - £50 extra IIRC.

look the quote is going to be high regardless. your 17 on a 1.4 modified corsa. end of !
try www.quinn-direct.co.uk or elephant.
most wont be arsed that youve only got a set of wheels on.
mines £1700 at age 20 on a 1.4 mate, get over it

Pay the cash and get over it like the rest of us.

I'd say Adrian Flux all the way. But you're only 17 and they insure 19+ only. Best I found at 17 was Tesco's, but... they hate modifications. Either de-mod your car. Or insure as standard and risk it. And when you turn 19 swoop over to Adrian Flux.
Know that's not a quick answer to your problem but that's the way i'd do it for sure.
I found Tesco to be cheaper than CIS. But CIS are also good. Also try Zurich Insurance. They're not bad.

Oh... and try your damndest to pay fully comp and get some no claims built up, paid more in the short coming, but long run now am saving a shedload of money at 22 with 5years no claims.
