New wheels on my Corsa **tin hat at the ready**

[mattsayle]

I got offered these at £100 with brand new tires on them. So they were worth the price tag for the rubber alone

I was unsure as to what it would look like with them on. I was scared it would look really chavvy BUT it looks brilliant. People have commented on how much better it looks. Even my dad who hates people doing things like this to crap cars likes it

It even had to admirers at Oulton on Saturday They took a walk around it and had a good look :lol:

ANyway, here it is:



What you think??

Oh and the handling is so, so much better now Understeer?? What understeer?

Looks pritty good...what have you done to correct the understeer.

[sniff diesel]

It's a slippery slope once you start modding it Matt...

[gj88]

I'm sorry to say that nearly every Corsa I see with some aftermarket alloys always gives off the same impression.

As long as you're happy then It was a good move

[RobboC]

They look good, much better than the overly large, over the top rubbish most have.

Now don't mod anymore, save money, and get a better car

[RobCrezz]

You had admirers? really?

My thoughts exactly!

Not a fan of the car but saw the picture in your profile (you should really add it to your post as a before and after) and must admit it does look nicer.

[Forbes82]

Not sure how new tyres would cure a corsas understeer, unless your old fronts were shot and so making it even worse?

Glad you are enjoying your car though.

[dannytherev]

They look good not to over the top

Get some standard body-coloured bumpers, and you're set.

You must a mind reader That is the next job. I hate the black ones. They look so tacky!

thanks everyone for your comments. I used to have barum tires on it and they were ste. I was forever finding the limits of them. I am yet to with the new ones

As for the admirers, it was tounge in cheek

I had Barums on my old MK6 Fiesta!

Ran them for about 1000 miles, tried to stop a bit more briskly than I'd have liked one day & the car just carried on.

They went straight on the back & the old Bridgestones on the front after that...

I had Barums on the back of my old Carrera 4, with P zero's on the front to try and change the balance more away from understeer. Dam things lasted forever.

They dont look too bad but id stop with the mods for now, save money for a better car in the future.

I put a set of cavalier sri wheels on my corsa b and looked mint.

[lewis_sharman]

Not sure if i'm a big fan tbh, Corsa's with aftermarket wheels around here all seem to give the same impression. I must admit i have seen a lot worse though!

I went the other way with mine and bought some £10 wheel trims

You lie, i saw the car and this is the real pic, your a chav in disguise!

[Mr Stuxy]

Each to their own. Better than standard steelies. Although don't get carried away
