the Super T's look good, i've just bought some Super Leggera's which will be fitted today (fingers crossed !)

Nce set of 5 spokes look good on 15's as well.

Halford's have their sale on alloys at the moment - might be worth taking a trip down your local store to see what's on offer.

plain old 5 spokes are always a safe bet! look sweet on a lowered saxo!

ive also got some superleggera's but in 16's!

very nice wheels ! always thought they'd look good on a civic.
it's worth taking advantage while they've got the offer on.

i was very close to buying the Record's.

i've had to concede defeat on my new wheels - the old ones are locked on solid. ringing round a few local places now to find someone to fit them for me. smileys/smiley7.gif smileys/smiley19.gif

Keep trying mate. they've got to come off somehow.. If u can get yourself to halfords quick, try some spray copper grease on em.

One trick I used on a friends Ka some time ago was to loosen the wheel nuts (not removed them!) and move the car slowly and brake, just gently but it should give the extra streangth you need to unlock those wheels from the hubs!
