I wanna get some new rims for my love wagon (corsa) seen below in my banner. I can get the arches rolled cheap so Im thinking either 17s or 18s? What do you think will look good? Can anyone give me some makes or piccy's?

Cheers, Ant

You see more 17's on corsa's than with standard 13" rims these days.... Well nearly!!

Yeah go for;
18's, for looks.
17's for handling.

Get some flat fronted 17's and slam the thing on the deck.

If you get flat fronted wheels they always look bigger and yoiu have more to play with when it comes to the suspension.
DECK IT!!!
:D :D :D

go for the 17's basically just for running costs, the 17's tyres are cheap and the 18's well lets just say not so cheap :wink:

I wouldn't do 18's on a small hatch again, ruins all drivabilty.

18" tyres arnt much more expensive that 17 anymore. I can get 215/35/18 for ?75

There arnt very many 7x18 et45 wheels out there... Mine, Kosei do 2 wheels, Dare i think do a wheel. Thats about it! Unless you wanna get some Image wheels at around ?300 a piece. But then aggain they will do you a 6.5x20 ;)

I may be going down to a 15's soon and whacking my 18's on a different car, its just silly how its made the car drive.

can't find many 18s that float me boat, let alone in the correct(ish) offset. Looks like I'll have to go for 17's :|
