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.

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..

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.

et49 is the most important factor.

I would have 6.5J x 15" if they can do them.
