Hi Peeps.
I have been looking into a new set of wheels, i would like some ronal turbo's, but they arent quite deep enough for my liking.

I dont really know many wheel type's, so does anybody know of any nice ones? I quite like deep dish minilites, but as far as i know they cant be made to fit corsa b's.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pictures would be good aswell

Cheers.

13inch rims are a tad too small imo. you have to be mega low to pull it off, making it very difficult to drive everyday.

Have a look on Dubmeister (Online) and Styledynamic (Online) And check some of the rims out on there. The cheaper priced deep dished rims would be the Brocks, Keskins, RH's, or Steffans. or then theres the expensive ones - HTN's, BBS, Schmidts.

Superlites arem't wide enough imo. They look spot on from side on, but all wrong from behind if they have skinny tyres stretched on.

If you want really wide 13's then you'll need to look at Image wheels or even banded steels

thanks all for the help

I was browsing the Dubmeister site, as they are just down the road from me i see the Dubmeister Passat most day's cruising around.

What fitting are corsa wheel's? I was looking at "Steffan BCW 5 spoke" and there are loads of different fittings, "7x14, et24, 4x100" etc.. what do these corrospond to? and what are the correct ones for a corsa B?

Thanks You

Rich.

The 7x14 is the size of the wheel, so 7" wide and 14" diameter, the ET is the offset of the wheel, Vauxhall use ET49. And the 4x100 is right for the B as well, it's the amount of studs (4) and the distance between them (100mm).
