Im going to be buying a set of these :




But can't decide whether to go for 15s or 16s , because there is a price difference of £110 !

Will 15s look to small ?

Anyone have any pics ?

Cheers

i have 15's check, but would say 16s are better, just watch out for the extra cost of tyres, 16's cost more than 15s for the rubber!

Both will result in roughly the same rolling radius... 16's will look better with a bit of a bodykit, nothing major, 15's will look better with more standard styling. The tyres on 16's cost a bit more. 16's will use lower profile tyres, you will get a more bumpy ride but you will get a bit better grip. 16's weigh more than 15's so you might feel the car is a bit more sluggish....

I went ahead and got a set of 16"s, although my corsa has standard styling, except for spoiler and exhaust, they fill the arches a little better than 15"s

Although...I did see a corsa lowered 40mm on 15" TSW razors and that looked
