    New wheels

    From these ghetto 14" hubcaps:





    To these 15" rims:





    Now do they go well with the car? Personally I think they look good. £349 well spent?

    I'd say so- they look cool without being ostentatious, and they won't knacker the ride either.

    Definitely an improvment over the hub caps. Maybe a bit small if you wanted to carry on modding the car, but very nice if you keeping the car stock

    Good choice.

    why would you put those on a light blue corsa.
    imo look better with standard vauxhall alloys or just hubcaps.

    All I've got planned for it is SXI sideskirts, smoked rear lights and 2 facelift headlights.

    Neons look silly, I don't feel I want a bodykit, the Irmscher/Steinmetz ones look nice but a bit pricey.

    Whilst in this thread, can anyone spec me some good car audio, sub, amp and 6x9's. Budget of £280

    Thanks

    Agreed get some nice components and a decent 4channel amp. Run the components on channels 1 & 2 and the sub off of the other two bridged.

    Funnily enough: Halfords had a few good deals on when I went in there

    The alloys look alot better (only problem is they show off the tiny brakes!)

    Dont you dare go for a body kit or anything like that

    that should do you nicely and give you some boot space - source cable from your local motor factors.
