Cant decide on what alloys to go for looking for some standard vaux alloys either cav gsi's painted black but they are getting common now, corsa c sxi alloys, or cesaro alloys painted black
a few chops for examples
NOW:
SXI ALLOYS:
SRI ALLOYS:
CESARO ALLOYS:
will i have any problems fitting these ? if lowered? and what size tyres/offset etc would i need to be looking at for any alloys?
thanks for any info & feedback

thats what i thought but some guy said i will have problems with scrubbage and fitting tyres etc with 15's
Quoted from ukshowcarz.com

f you go any higher than 15's on standard springs you will find it a bastard to change the tires!
ive 15's on mine and before it got decked you couldnt get the front wheel back on without alot and i mean alot! of faffing about!
now its failed the mot on various aspects, rear arches mainly rusted so im gonna rip the 1.2 engine out and find a nice lump to go in it with a turbo, maybe a calibra 2.4 turbo if it will fit :mrgreen: along with removing everything off it and welding all the problem areas, going to be my project car along with the carina LOL!
id go for the top set then look into some lowering spring kits, you will need arch work on the rear if you go 50mm down
yeah i am real tempted to go for the sxi's

 Id like my calibra turob to be a 2.4 Tool!
You can get lower profile tyres which will mean the car will fit those wheels perfectly.
Id say the SXi wheels also, look pretty cool in the right colour
