basicly i want my car to stay low but i can't decide on a set of wheels that won't make it higher, i have been thinking about corsa gsi wheels as their not much different to the steelies i have on now
any wheels you can suggest?

Small, thin and with the right offset. So you're basically taking OE or a very small number of aftermarket wheels.

I'm no expert, but I'm guessing those rims are 10".

any 15" vauxhall rims would be kool..ie
cesaros
slabs
fans
even like you said some gsi's done in anthracite would be nice..
or then can get some 15" softstars 
all got et49 offset so are perfect, just got to get the right tyres to match otherwise rub a dub dub...

Yep deffo, go for the same generic rims that have been done hundreds of times before, orrrr spend some time, do a little research and do something a bit different.
As for the folk saying you need et 49 and all that jazz I have total proof that is total twoddle, I have run 13x7 et20 and 15x7 et24 with no scrubbing, LukeD was running 14x8 et30 aswell
Stretch camber and arch work will make any wheels fit

dnt mean to sound like a cunt, but why dnt you go for 15" alloys...they all end up the same size (depending on tyre profile)

Lol I am afraid not, my 13's with 60 profile tyres where over 2 inches smaller than my 15's with 195 45's on
If you plan on running low profiles on 14's then you will have to go uber low, just look at LukeD's corsa on the schmidts
You can still go very low on 15's I have proved that along with jimmy and mk4 boy
