Right im nearly ready to get some wheels for my white Corsa Sport.

Now i have two choices really.

"Old faithful" Cally 16v Rims as per my pevious GSi as in the picture below - but not this black more of an anthrisite (sp) on a white car.


Or do i go for Mk3 Astra Sport rims and paint them white (they seem to have a sort of raceline look about them) im sure someone has this done that looked very nice.




Thoughts people?
I want to use a "Vauxhall" alloy im not interested in aftermarket.

Wasnt there a 16" vectra wheel that looked the same as the SRI wheels that was a 4 stud? Came off an older 2.0 SRI 140? I could be talking shite tho!! Im sure Pete (C3RSA) had them on his car in the old days? They would look good in anthra!

i love these. my car has cav gsi's in black (my avatar), but kano did a shop of these onto my car a wee while ago when i fancied a change in direction. i think it looks ace in white. plus with your car being white, it would look really cool. real rally!

I want fans - ive no problem doing the 5 stud conversion.

But you need big shafts which means you need a big engine.

Have not got the funds for the big engine just yet
