i prefer wolfrcae street octane wheels myself,but for £150 cant complain id get them 
Yea, I can spend loads on wheels the money is there, but to be honest i just don't want to. . . . having a nice car is no high priority of mine, What ever way the car ends up people will still say it's not euro or it's not good enough,

Day 2 Day it will be 40mm, just cause any lower you can't drive in my town, cause the speed bumpers are so high.
Show use would be lower. . .

Honest mate . . .they are big,
The streets are ful off big pot holes, and 60mm is just not a nice ride when you travel as much as I do, I also go mountain biking and I drive to stupid places to go and the car just want take it,

I like the wheels. Much prefered them to the speedlines i had.  a tad more unique. will go well against the arden blue of your car. and for the price- there a good buy! aint gonna really get anything as good at that price.
Only thing is, please go more than 40mm! 60mm- you know it makes sense.  i still manage to get over speedbumps at the ride height i am now. 60mm was a doddle.

Yeah post them up too! i purchased 40mm springs on my first car. always regretted not getting the 60mm for it tho, but thats just me, and as you say- practicallity comes first, if your be using it for biking etc (but 60mm should be fine)- wish i was more sensible though.

Yea, I am forever driving up well warn dirt tracks which catch my car,before it was lowered. . .lol
You should see it, I work in VW, and the first week it was there no signs saying it was there and it smashed 5 sumps off golf and a couple of polo, and loads more. . .

yea LukeD is right you know it sounds right or euro has just gone out of the window but i do 25000 miles a year and if you want the look you just put up with the comfort of it, but i know what you mean i have mountain bike as well, but i went to goodwood last year and they made me drive through like this wooded walk way just to get on to the grass and i just took my time and amde it through...and if you can not get over a speed hump with a corsa lowered 60mm but my mate can with his polo gt which is lowered 80/60mm wiv 13" wheels then you need to go to the council because u must have to go over a mountain all the time...as for pot holes, there every where, but thts wot i thought ur road tax was for

Euro wheels arent all about dish.
Ive seen many euro cars from abroad where the euro scene is bigger and most have black wheels with a polished rim.
