Hence my SXI's, that come with Uniroyal Rainsports.

I am willing to meet you halfway as well (motorway services somewhere), if you decide you want them

Mine have the yoko's that halfords provide with them (a539's iirc) and they are a bit suspect at times, they have their moments tbh. Get some Vaux 15's and some decent rubber on there


Yes I completely agree with what you guys are saying but I just thought those alloys looked good!?

Yea those softstars do look nice but as said 5 stud

And I am REALLY NOT KEEN ON BLACK CAR WITH BLACK ALLOYS

Sorry to hear that mate, IMO they do look nice on your car !


Dont get me wrong, i do like how they look, but the quality lets them down when you look up close. Centre caps are faded too

I'd like to replace them with some corsa C SRI wheels but funds say no Might stick some 13" steels on there

I think they look horrible, and are the wrong offset as well, assuming they were correct for the Ford.

Plus they are 17's. which look way too big on a Corsa B imo.

No offense by the way it's just the main thing that pisses me off when people modify cars in the wrong way.

Save up.

This man speaks the truth, I also agree that wheels make a car, save up for a set you want and don't just buy wheels you can afford as chances are further down the line you won't like them, and they would be hard to sell for a decent price.

I doubt ill get alloys for mine TBH there isnt any out there that i like that are cheaper than £500.

I bought some cav Gsi's ones but im not keen on them no more, so i'll probablly end up rolling round on the 13' 3 spokes

do what i did,

go to the scrappies, find a cav/astra or something with a set of interesting vauxhall alloys on it, take them home refurb them and fit them job done on the cheap

i did it with cesaros about 2 1/2 years ago, they're everywhere now

I swear some people have no taste in nice alloy wheels.

TSW wheels are gash. Period.
