hi ive just recently purchased a corsa sport 1.4 16v its a p-reg. And i dont no much about it all. is it a corsa b? im about to colour code it but i dont want to be ripped off - what would be a good price? im goin to get alloys next week but i havent got a clue wot size to get, can anybody recommend some brands, and wot size can i get without having to adjust the wheel arches. i am goin to definately lower it in the future as well - can any one give me some much needed advice and as much as possible. thanks very much john

hey the thing is every body is different, i dont personaly like colour codeing but other people do, i dont realy like mass 17/18" wheels but some do some people raely like Body kits others dont.

Ur car is a corsa B not sure but think its not the Vgrill one isit?

some wheels are vauxhall/corsa friedly and others arnt its all to do with the offset of the wheel but most people find 15" and 16" wheels will fit corsa arches ok with a 40mm drop. if you go much lower 16" wheels might scrub aginsed the arches but 15" will be ok

Most people would ither buy something like apex or G-max lowering kits on a budget of around 250 for both 40 and 60mm drop.

As far as wheels go try, Khan,Team Dynamix pop in to vauxhall and look at the I line products or just look on here in peoples garages and look what wheels you might like then just U2U them and ask what they are


Hows That

well done for buying a corsa !

Every1 will say buy speedline alloys but go with wot you feel looks good! Drop it 60mm and stick sum 15/16's .. thats wot I like but its personal taste ..
