ok open question/ debate here! what is more imporatant to you? BIG POWER or BIG STYLING? i only have me a 1.2 but i'm 17 so its fair enough! on my last car-my fiesta 1.0 i had some 15" series 1 RST alloys( 4 sale by hte way-u2u me) but the bastard things didn't half make my car slow! i don't know if it's worth it for looking better! these days i'd much prefer to slam a car to the max on fat little euro style wheels and just smooth it- more of a subtle street sleeper look! i dunno but i think that if you see a 1.2 modified over the top with huge wheels on that might look good you wanna race it and test it out but it;s so dissapointing when it has no speed to throw at you whatsoever! big kits on fast cars-fair enough but little engined monsters aren;t really all that! euro style still turns heads and looks mean- big wheels-small engine, maybe more money than sense! what do you think?

If I had a small engine I would concentrate on looks...if the engine is slightly bigger then a mixture..if it was a large engine subtle styling and most on engine!!

ha ha - a 1.2 or a 1ltr its not the wheels that make it slow - its the half assed teeny motor thats trying to drag the car and you along including the wheels - mate untill you get like 100bhp+ surley you wont be racing anything thats even capable of 'fast' - just chill and make it looklike how you want - dont foiol yourself the only 1l car that i know thats fast is a charade gtti - and they look pants anyway.

as loudcorsa said, when youve only got a 1.2 or 1 l it doesnt matter what wheels you've got cos its going to be slow!

You may aswell make it look good as you certainly arent going to make it very fast!

If you don't like the way it looks when you buy it then why buy it? I've never bought a car I didn't like in standard trim. My MR2 looks better than most things on the road (in my mind) and doesn't hang around. The money I would have spent monkeying around with the thing can now be spent on insurance and beer.
