or was it 50s......

they came on my car. not that bad imo. although i long for twin spokes or corsa c SRi wheels but lowering is more inportant and neither are cheap or easy to find

well generally most 15's are £350 - £500. You can get 60mm springs for £55 in the classified section. and corsa c sri wheels are 16's.

stick with 15's mate! tyres on the 16's are double the price, not as good handling, and lowering 60mm on 16's may rub!

SRi ones are ET40.
ET49 16s with no arch mods -60mm don't rub on SOME cars, but do on others.

yes.
I had ET45 16s with 195/45 16s -60mm, no scrubbing and no arch mods at all, but on some cars, it would have scrubbed like buggery.
