For ages ive been contemplating swapping my alloys for something a bit fresher, at the moment ive got 16's on and the size really suits the car, but ive always wanted some deep dish alloys, i saw some Lenso Shu 17's and instantly fell in love but im not sure if they are the right rims for the car, what you lot think?

Cheers

Lenso shus are lovely wheels - but IIRC oly come in offset 35 - I wanted them for mine - but couldnt cause of offset

Ive seen them on one other corsa - which is the exhaustuk brocade yellow one with the 6 slanted oval exhausts

cheers mav!

The thing is AB Styling want a photo of my car to advertise the rieger RS kit Thing is they said it needs newer alloys, they said they would do me a set of the shu's in the hyper finish with nankaang(?) tyres plus do arch work for £650,

is that good?

SWT do them for £675 plus delivery so £700 in all, so not a bad price considering they are doing the arches for me, i just need a little convincing cos im not to sure if they will suit but the votes are all even!

i might just wait and see, may find another set that i like more and that will suit!

There nice wheels, not quite sure if they'd suit though, they have a lot of detail on them, i think your car would suit something more simple. Black wheels would look good.

Those votes are so close, looking at the wheels they arevery busy and my car is subtle and dark but for some reason i think they will look good, they put them up against my car and i was impressed, decisions, decisions

Lenso shu's are my fave wheel on a corsa

I wanted em but cant be arsed with the hassle of 18"s dont think they look right in 17".

Plus i might add DONT EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM SWT EVER!

Worst company ever. FACT

SWT tyres do lenso shu copies at 500 quid with tyres and they mite have a more corsa freindly offset, if not then go for a 16inch wheel with a polished rim euros style wiht the RS kit looks top notch and 17s make the kit look small so doesnt go well, 16s euro style all the way

Ask for diffferent tyres unless you like having little or no grip Voice of experience speaking here...
