a set of speedlines...
after 2 weeks of waiting for them....they show up, mint condition..all the centrecap stickers missing 
and the fool that fitted them before me buggered up thecentre hole bye burring the edges over...so after a quick file, that was sorted.
then fitted them - realised they rub against my spax, so outr come the 3mm spacers.
then the centre caps wouldnt fit over the hub grease caps!.
overall, it took nearly an hour to fit the fooking things 
anyway, ill put some pics up tomorrow
[as if we dont all know what a corsa on speedlines looks like]

According to the tyre calculator at http://www.rochfordtyres.co.uk
your new tyres are approx. 16mm larger in circumference than the old ones, so 6mm bigger in diameter.
So in a word, not really as there is 3mm difference, ans as you know that can never be seen, its the difference between a partly worn and new tyre.

yup, there all taken off now.....bit worried about grease squidging out of the rear bearings......and water getting into them..
as theres no cstickers, theres a 5mm hole in the centre of each wheel
