Dont Speedline make any wheel you want in their range to your spec? So if you want it white for example in an ET49, then thats what you can have. May have to wait a bit longer but it will be worth it!

Id say 15's on an ET49 is the way forward. I would totally limit yourself to ET49!

The speedline i really really would have would be the "chrono" but they will ONLY make them in a et35. Way off. They wont move on that and im not going to the hassle of having any wheel "machined" to fit.

3cm - lightish really without tyre.

i mean what weight would be looked upon as a heavy wheel, and the same for a light wheel

what weight, with a tyre do you call light?

The lightest will be the 15" steel vx make. they were on the early vectra, the MK3 astra has them but were ET47 and the new corsa C's have them too but not sure on offset.

As for handling, it's a corsa :S
