Well i been wondering for a little while now if i should go the whole hog and get 18s,
Its only really after seeing some corsa c's with 18s i have wanted them, i have always thought they look to big,
The car is lowered pretty much as low as possible on FK coilovers,
here it is at present,
I just dunno if its worth spending like £1000 on it,
thoughts?

No, would over power the car.
Wheels look spot on, don't fit 18's or do anything else to the car, looks perfect.

Just depends on the wheels as yours look good as they are now, would need another very good rim to go better!

If you do this, I will have to drive to your house and keep shouting monkeehh until you take them back off.
Leave what you have on there and spend the money on something else.

Yes re-trim would be money well spent.
Everything works, why fix something that is'nt broke? if you get what I'm saying.

leave it, looks spot on the way it is. 18s will make it look like youve styled around the wheels. 17s look more part of the car imo

I know a bloke that I bought my black Nova SR off, he re-trims bus seats, used to work for Bentley and does private jobs on the side.
Re-trimmed a purple Saxo in Reading, not sure if hes still doing it as it was a couple of years ago.
His work looked wicked.
Old bloke
