I am in need or your opinions. Would 15" wheels or 16" wheels be better for my corsa B. I don't really want to lose much performance, but on the other hand, would 15's look stupid as they are too small. Either case, it would need to be lowered i guess?, just wondered if anyone could give me a few ideas on wheel size and lowering (how much mm, whats the best kit).

Thanks very much

go 16's lowered 60mm looks mint every says u need 17's but i actually went from 17's to 16's as the ride was bad u easily buckle 17's, decrease performance, i got full bodykit 2 and my 16's still look big go 4 it

plus 16's wont affect performance

I have 15" rims on mine with a 60mm drop, looks alright to me, the thing is if I went onto 16's I would have just enough clearance to get ove the speed bumps at a more decent speed.

15's dont look too small if they are on a lowered car, 16's are a slightly better size yet the tyres are more expensive for 16's than they are for 17's because they are less popular.

Do you have any clearance problems at the moment? Whats it like with more than one of you in the car. They are TSW evo-r's on your corsa aren't they? Look pretty sweet. I want some Mille Miglia Evo's. 15s are alot cheaper than 16s. If i lower it then it should look ok with 15s. Have you just got lowering springs or the dampers aswell?

Thanks

Chris
