if your a fan of the alloys then keep them, otherwise i would change them.
The ones you have picked out look cool, i'd go for them if they're the ones you want.

i meant if you refurbed the wheels you already have, but if there not to your taste then get rid lol.
You should have a nose at some peoples garages/project threads, such as fro-dizzle and flybikeslee who both have mint black corsas.

Greetings earthling.
You basically have 2 options with the alloys. Refurb you existing ones to their original colour condition or change colour.
Get some different alloys.
It's totally up to you what you do (including any other mods) and what your budget will allow!
I wanted an SXi B

Agreed, Black on black( ) can be too much.
Either go for the alloys you want or maybe think of the option of getting another vaux/irmy wheel in a 15/16" size, but it all depends what route you want to go down mate

welcome to the site mate. mines an sxi too.
only subtle mods:
lowered 40mm
smoked side repeaters
debadged grille
15'' wolfrace lh1's in polished style
opel mudflaps
opel boot badge
gromit over wiper hole
tints
