Hi, been looking now for nearly 3 months for a decent set of TSW Alpines to fit my (standard) 1.2 Corsa B ! Can't find anywhere that sells them brand new 
Preferably with tyres aswell and I'm in the West Midlands.
Thanks  :
EDIT - I don't mind if they are second hand, infact it would probably be better to cut down on costs, but in good condition

£130 on Ebay, aren't they the Ford fitment though? That's the trouble I'm having, they all seem to be Pug/Ford instead of Vaux fitment

if ur not gonna lower, u want bigger wheels to fill in the gaps!  13's may look a bit weird. TSW Pace would look cool - different style I know but would also look like a bigger wheel than whatever you have due to the multi spoke look

Well I saw a Corsa B (same as mine) with 15" alloys and it looked stupidly high up because it wasn't lowered. I assumed that if I got the same size as standard (13") then it would look
