just a quick question, but as im having the tyres taken off and my others putting on im abit worried about them getting scuffed and marked, has anyone got any tips of removing tyres and not marking them? or is it just down to having a steady hand etc..

He hasn't got them on yet, mobby, still has the fanblades on at the mo.

I thought that 15" Softstars were 5 stud?

Nice colour though, needs the centre cap repainting too imo.

I agree that 15" is the best size on a Corsa, unless it's lowered, then 16" can work equally well.
