There has also been a change regarding to big rims. If this thread was made 6 months ago, I don't think it would have got as much support as it did today. There's definately a changing trend

i sometimes get to that stage where i think to myself "why do i waste so much money on my car??" if u think about it, its a lot of money to spend just to make it look nice isnt it. wheels usually just make the car slower and makes it worse to drive and i spent £380 on a custom exhaust! JUST TO MAKE IT GO "BBRRRR" what a fcuking waste

This must be the ultimate sleeper. Looks nothing special on the outside, lairy impreza turbo side by side on the motorway, then WHOOOOP, impreza left trailing. Must be such a good feeling knowing you are in supercar territory, in a Corsa!!!!

never been into them at all really, apart from the Dietrich RS bumpers. I loved the Corsa that Max Power/Haynes built for the manual. Loved every bit of it.

I hav a confilc , as i love kits and big wheels and full ice . But i also love speed and performace . The is 1 big factor in wich way i turn , insurance .

Ive got a sri and love it , but i always want more speed . Problem is after having 2 crashes (yeah i know iam fool and i get what i deserve) . My insurace is sky high and this mean i can not go for performace stuff .With this car iam not touching the performace and iam just going style and bit of ice . And why not i say , coz every still apreicates agood looking car and if u carnt look past any minor faults and see the whole car , then thats ur loss . I might as well wait few years and get a big car , where it is worth spening the money on performace .

I agree that big kit are daft and i hate most of the new stuff . But i still think 17" suit the corsa so well and some of kits look mint. For me i like smooth clen kits with a bit of mesh and jap twist .

Ha ha! Then see the steelies melt under acceleration! I doubt they would fit on with 285mm discs.
