yes but theres loads of "euro" wheels which arent rare wide and euro means small wheels and small wheels dont fill the arches.
E.g porsche teledial,porsche d90 wheels g60 steels,ronal turbos are all "euro wheels" but arent rare or wide.

did i say they have to fill the arches ? 
everything i said can go towards the wheels, it doesnt say they MUST did it? teledials and d90's are usualy wide 7j + and ronal turbos aint reall euro wheels in my opinion
i can safely say that euro is now a muchly over used term and is usualy used by either the fan boys or people trying to jump on a bandwagon and thus i shall no longer use the term

Thanks. . . .
1. I am on a budget because having a super smooth euro corsa is way down my list
2. The though of driving a car without suspension is hell when you travel miles like I do
3. I go mountain biking and the car need to get up mountain paths alot.

Originally I was going to do a full on euro car, but traveling the world on my year out sounds better, maybe when I come back I will do one many be not.
I am going from euro to (think think think) it's my car and I can do what I like to it. lol
These are all our own cars, and we can do what we like with them carn't we. . .
lets paint them pink . . . maybe not

at the end of the day you put the thread up, its the whole point of it, get other peoples views (good or bad)
the next thing is, maybe you should of researched other cars which are euro, looking at ideas, parts and mainly cost....cant afford it either dont do it or save up..stop rushing!
last of all..pretty much every one on corsasport has there car lowered knowning tht there giving up comfort for handling and looks..no matter how many miles they do..i do 25000 miles a year just going 2 college and work, my corsa is lowered 60mm and i knew that i wasnt gona have comfort when i did it.i also hav weller wheel wheels same as kangeroojack but mine are 13" rim 8" wide with an offset of -3, they stick out loads (havnt got any wheels for the front yet) but i dnt hav them on my car as i dnt want to get pulled for it, thats why i have rota alloys coz there road legal and strong..
at the end of the day having german font pressed plate with some dished rims doesnt make it euro..far less euro if it hasnt been lowered and sites like a 4x4 and until you notices this everyone is gona keep on at you because there expecting something euro when its not
on a budget then get those rims for £150 but change the name from euro to something which actually describes you project

Well said, I like reading other people treads, but i don't know why people slate other peoples car, not just mine, but its on some other people threads and they got some sweet rides.
I want it slammed but it's getting the car from A2B, around where i live there some serious bigg bumps and I don't want to rip bumpers off every 2 mins lol. plus I had mini before this car, which to be honest was gutted I sold for a corsa,
I have noticed with the Mini I got out of 2 parking tickets just cause the attendant loved it, a police man was giving out asbo's to everyone for people parking in this car park and another copper said nice car mate, don't go in the car park for about 20mins.
I been pulled 3 times with the corsa and never been done in the mini.
