I am thinking more along the lines of replacing 17" with 16" wheels.
I quite like comp mo's maybe in black, would white look ok, do they come in 16" and can you get them in et49
thanks

i might meet you in the middle and go 16, if they come in that size.
they say 17s affect acceleration etc, do 16s at all?

if u go for 16s make sure u get the lower profile tyres (40 not 45s). i noticed a big difference goin to 15s to 17s, but im sure 16s will be ok and they fill the arches better. but with the price of the tyres u can probably get 17s anyway for the same price, but dnt

Yeh, I like my 17s, I had some cheap 15s on my first car and then put 17s on and the difference was quite noticable......
Think i will go for some white mos next year.

17s affect acceleration big time on my 1.2 
If I were buying some 16s I'd go for Speedlines or Softstars.

Same here. I like them but if you were to buy them then you'd get slated as 'every' Corsa has them 
If I were to start again then I'd have Speedlines or Softstars on for sure

yeah MOs are nice if your going for more of a track/performance look. Will need to be on the floor to look good with 15s though. 16s are probably the best size IMO, bit of looks without looking too small but dont bugger the performance up like 17s
