both? mainly looks.
i'd like compomotives or alessio's.. i just have no idea of where to get them new
and what size i'll be ordering
:confused:
In that case whatever you think looks best lol Alessios look good but a bit common.
Looks, 6.5 x 16"
Handling, 5.5-6 x 15"
Compomotives would be best for handling as I'd wager they're considerably lighter than the Alessios.
Google for suppliers.

size/style 5.5x13 6x13 7x13 8x13 7x15 7x17 EVO1 http://www.comp.co.uk/pics/dot.gif (http://www.comp.co.uk/products/road.htm#) LMB http://www.comp.co.uk/pics/dot.gif (http://www.comp.co.uk/products/road.htm#) MS http://www.comp.co.uk/pics/dot.gif (http://www.comp.co.uk/products/road.htm#) http://www.comp.co.uk/pics/dot.gif (http://www.comp.co.uk/products/road.htm#) http://www.comp.co.uk/pics/dot.gif (http://www.comp.co.uk/products/road.htm#) http://www.comp.co.uk/pics/dot.gif (http://www.comp.co.uk/products/road.htm#) MVS http://www.comp.co.uk/pics/dot.gif (http://www.comp.co.uk/products/road.htm#) RS http://www.comp.co.uk/pics/dot.gif (http://www.comp.co.uk/products/road.htm#) RL http://www.comp.co.uk/pics/dot.gif (http://www.comp.co.uk/products/road.htm#) http://www.comp.co.uk/pics/dot.gif (http://www.comp.co.uk/products/road.htm#)
Sizes down the left, wheels across the top
Basically MO's come in sizes 14" up to 18". Dr RazorJack reckons the 6x15 would be best for handling.

lol okay think i get it now.. but it wont let me order on that site right?
or im just being dumb..
if i get them for looks & not handling it wont affect anything will it? like rubbing on the arches? as the wheels i have now, rub when i go over big bumps..

Get compomotives :thumb:speedlines are horrible piece of cr4p!
And Rallyman is a supplier for compomotive so get in touch with him .

You can order directly by sending an enquiry here (http://www.comp.co.uk/scripts/display.asp). Performance Alloys (http://www.performancealloys.com/compomotive_alloy_wheels.asp) also stock them, or have a look on ebay. IIRC Compomotive make Mo's in virtually every possible size and offset so fitment shouldn't be an issue; Phil's are some ghey offset lol

Depends on wheel size, offset, tyres, suspension, car weight etc. As said you'll be safer with the Mo's though.
go with compomotives
6 x 15
et 49 (or as close as you can get it ie 45 etc)
195/45/15 tyres
shouldnt scrub at all with standard arches

et49 is the most important factor.
I would have 6.5J x 15" if they can do them.
