Have had a shite month this month financially, and am supposed to be going on holiday next month without any funds!

Anyhow, was gonna need to get some new tyres in the next couple of months but was gonna change my alloys aswell as my current ones are scuffed.
But what happens last night?!?! I drive over a fooking nail!!

SO, I can't be bothered to get 2 new tyres for the sake of 2 months, so have decided to bite the bullet and dip into my last bit of savings and get new alloys.
As some of you may know I have a standard black Corsa C SRi, and have no intentions of lowering or bodykits. But want new alloys either Dare V2, or Team Dynamic motorsports.
The question I need answering is which ones and should I get 16s or 17s (remember I'm not lowering it so tell me If 17s will look silly!!) It is slightly lower anyway cos its an SRi.
If any of you have pics of these wheels please post em too!

Cheers guys and gals am relying on you.

Get the puncture repaired in the tyre it will only cost you a fiver at the most, use your savings for holiday, then sort out new wheels when you come back?

Why dont you just get a remould for the puncture, really cheap, go on holiday and all that, when you come back wait till you have the dollar to hand to get a new set of wheels. I personally would lower your car, even if its only a small amount on some bigger wheels, you could do it for £80 for just springs and it will make it look much better.

What I cant understand is people who live out of their means, dont go off spending money that you cant afford to spend, wait till you ahve the money and then do what you want. Planning my man is the key to success.
