I've got a new corsa (elegance model)
Its not got alloys on it just some nasty looking hubcaps.
do i need to put 15's on? or can i just whack 16's on?
Where is the best place to get some really nice, and cheap (but not tacky) alloys from, and how much am i looking at?

14s probably... just look on the tyres...
there'll be something like 155/60/14 on the tyre... with the 14 meaning 14" or 15 for 15" etc.
