there wasnt a slot for small wheels like 10" so i put 15's, since these are the best compromise for performance

14's would offer the best performance as the car comes stock with wheels that size. Though for looks, coupled with performance most people go for 15's or 16's. For show cars 17's or 18's are the way forwards. Anything bigger, and you're gonna have to do serios modifictions to the suspension, arches and steering, otherwise you'll end up in a ditch....

You have a 1.2 8v yes? 15" rim, no bigger, that is if you want to get anywhere at a reasonable speed

depends what 'best; means. 15s for performance, 17s for looks, 16s for compromise, or 18s+ for show cars with serious arch mods. I got 17s with 2 litre, its a reasonable balance between looks and performance

Actually the geometry of the corsa suits 15" wheels better for handling

Brad Fincham in Scriv's old car springs to mind...

COR54 801, do a search for either of those names, should find what I'm on about...
