ET45 is easy to get simply because not that many manufacturers make wheels that go upto ET49, so et45 is the general accepted allowance.
Get some nice ET49 Technomagnesio alloys and you'll be able to get 18s on with the same mods. :-D

Ive got a 1.0 as well, you might as well look at it like this, without an engine swap its never going to be any quicker, so you may as well make it look as good as you can...

as for lowering, u know the rules by now!!! offset, bolts, trim plastic arch!!!
also, i'd look at getting a 60/40 split because the 1.0 is light as fuk and therefore the front will not drop the full 40mm
Is that y my 12 volt is higher at the front? i never knew that was the reason! Cheers dude!!!!

Ive tried fitting 60mm springs at the front of the car though, and it does not go any lower to the 40mm springs. I think its because the shock absorber simply does not let the drop happen...?
