Stunning

How much do you think the suspension will have to be raised to in order for the wheels not to scrub on the arches?

spring seats would need to go back in the rear and not too sure how i'll get around the fronts yet, need some adapter jiggery first.

YES but i would say that the centres sprayed the same as the old wheels could look even better!

A definite NO.

They should be on a 944.

They only make your Corsa look fussy and less tidy in my opinion Phil.

Your car is uniquely yours Phil and i've always been a fan. To my mind they change the car too much. They detract from it and it no longer looks like yours, nor does it look as polished, simple or elegant.

Sorry if this goes against the grain, but I think she's just perfect as she is.

I disagree. There are too many out there with SXI wheels on. Because they have a large smooth centre it goes with the smooth look of the whole car.

But that's my view

I preferred your C wheels as they matched your trim. Then again these might look better in decent pictures out of the garage, so I'll reserve my vote till then

I can understand this opinion, but I think it's such an exceptional looking car as is, to change anything is a bit like reinventing the wheel.

Pardon the pun.
