I'm after some wheels as I'm fed up of the steelies. I think B Sxi rims will look ok sprayed black

I'm not going any bigger than 14" as I'm not guna lower it and I don't want the 4x4 effect and after having a 'heated debate' with a certain forum member who goes by the name of Gaz, he reckons I should get some Astra wheels



Just wondering what your opinions are, which wheels will look decent with a white/black theme?

PS smoked side repeaters coming V soon so the orange won't be ruining it

you dont want 13's, i would recommend if you have to have 14's i would recommend a 60mm drop then. Would look sweet and there will be no "4x4 effect"

13's, down 60 front, 40 back (looks cask and standard)



15's and down 60mm both (much better)

the bigger the better, but dont EVER put 17's on it. hate corsa's with 17's.
