18" Alloys are Not Cool On Saxos.

[Arr0nUK]

Why is it so many chavs love putting on 17 & 18 inch rims which look stupid? :wall:

In personal choice a nice set of 15 or 16s look nice.

what you all think?

[chinkostu]

They all think bigger = better

which is retarded

[Cal]

It IS cool.

looks like something you see at the great dorset steam fair lol!!

[adam19]

i had 16`s on my old 1.4 but on my vts a set of 15 is the size id personally go :P

[saxowebby]

i have 18s to go on my vtr show car, but want 15s for my everyday runabout vtr

[adam19]

18s ok for show and that about it tbh - well on a saxo any way

[DJDannyB]

14" even look good, VTRs Or VTS alloys..

[Marcos]

iv never seen 18s on a saxo

[jmt84]

i've got 15's, imo 15/16's are the perfect size for small cars such as saxo's/106's

[saxo_shaun]

i reackon smaller wheels like 14's or 15's give it a good look when the car is low, but when its not lowered then then 16's is about as big as they should be i think

[Arr0nUK]

iv never seen 18s on a saxo

i've seen 19"s insane

[Marcos]

i've seen 19"s insane

did it actually have arches?

[Arr0nUK]

yeah. must of had sloopy handeling

[JimoVTR]

Used to have 16's

Too big, back to 14's :)

[Sammy-Boy]

18's would be insane and look well site

[GabbaKid]

14" and 15" are the boyo's on saxo's.
Anything else I think are to big.

[saxowebby]

here we go

[Arr0nUK]

well that girl manged to pick the worst 18 inch alloys in the world

[djrem]

biggest ive seen on a saxo is 22s on that snake skin covered one

[Marcos]

looks shit wotn need lowering tho

[Adz]

hey i have got a set of 17's for my saxo, and im not a chav :n:
Got vts wheels now though, trying to sell the 17's

[Marcos]

your vts rims look more grey than white haha

[Leedo]

18's look cack a set of vt wheels cant o wrong. :y:

[Ashleyp]

15s max imho

chavs dont know anything, i had this argument with someone the other day.. he said he wanted 18s on a corsaC.. i ripped him for it (both wanting a corsa, and then wanting 18s on a corsa) i think hes changed his mind :)

[craig180]

My 16s with the correct sized tyres = same rolling radius as 15s but lighter ;)

I used to have 17s on my vts and they were sool :y:

[Scott]

i miss the days when it was cool to do whatever you wanted with your car. Now everyones a sheep. Its bland and boring.

[Cal]

i miss the days when it was cool to do whatever you wanted with your car. Now everyones a sheep. Its bland and boring.Looks nice Scott. Think you should do a body coloured lip on your rims :y:

[Scott]

Looks nice Scott. Think you should do a body coloured lip on your rims :y:

when i had my saxos both had body coloured rims :D

[Jimmy-Boy]

16s look spot on imo, everyone is different and i appreciate it. I personally think 15s are best for daily use.

[Josh_24]

15's are spot on but its each to there own really

[Matty-VTR]

Anything over 16'' on a little french car looks shit imo

[alextoffie]

what tyre profile are you looking at for a 18-19" wheel?

[PADDY_J_VTS]

i got 17's on mine they r lenso's an im opinion they look the nuts but i also wants a set of black vts wheels, my profile is 40 an the ride is a bit hard

[turbomook]

Big wheels suit some cars. Defo prefere 15's on my Vts tho

[smittytom]

That listing hurt my eyes:n:

Need some sunglasses to read it.lol

[5c077y11]

i think you should just leave the vtr alloys on and make them look nice imo

[Recovery]

when i first passed my test few years ago it was 'the thing to do' i had 17s on my saxo and had it lowered around 50m with arche mods, looked nice to be fair, i prefer 16'snow though, perfect size

[PADDY_J_VTS]

i use to have 16's team dynamics on my 106 and it looked sweet, really unsure wot to put on mine now, the lenso's look nice cuz they r deep dish ahhhhhh help

[Metal_Face]

i was considering getting some 16" alloys off some1 on here on 195/45/16 tires...........not a good idea then?

[PADDY_J_VTS]

16's do look good in my opinion jus depends on the wheel an they style of ya car

[kyle_0790]

i'v seen 17s but i think that it wud depend on the design on the alloys.... but not 18s lol.. thats a big no no

[PADDY_J_VTS]

i got 17's on my saxo now, they r deep dish lenso's (t.wat 2 keep clean) alotmof people say it looks nice, but it depends on peoples like an dis likes really

[craig180]

Gazzza you need help!

[smiith]

Gazzza, professional correctionist, you cant advise anyone on style, look in a mirror... you get me?

[Gazzza]

Gazzza you need help!

Gazzza, professional correctionist, you cant advise anyone on style, look in a mirror... you get me?
i know... btw if you still think i look like that (back in the day i have specs) then i dont :)

[Japman]

gazza rocks

[Pocket_Rocket]

16" wheels are harder to find than 15 or 17s

I no coz i wanted some for ages just can find them in 17 but not 16 :( lol

[_ELECTABUZZ_]

monster truck.

[pjm300]

lol when i first came on this site it was all for the larger wheeled generation.

how times have changed, as scott said, its getting bland and boring. at trax there were no cars pushing the boundaries. which sucked.

granted im not a fan of hugely bodykitted cars, but its nice to have a bit of variety rather than a load of standard cars which have just had a quick dabble with some fairy liquid and have had their standard wheels painted

[5c077y11]

well thats not get to hasty now painting some standard wheels look good if you find the right colour consept

[mikey362vtr]

i agree with the standard wheel painting, i cant afford set of after market rims so im paintin mine same colour as the car with a blue lip to match my sparco mud flaps. once ive got a new exhaust sorted the back calipers and got it through its next mot ill think about gettin some 16'S i think.


if its an everyday car dont go bigger than 16's coz your gonna get a hard ride not somethin i could deal with ma self, but if its a show car go for it 22's with air bag suspension what ever you want lol.

Could have gone very wrong.
I think for a car that it pulls off the subtle look.

I agree with that to a certain extent but here is a great photo from the sax-p stand at trax that proves there is still variety in the saxo world:

oh granted there's still variety, but there is no longer the encouragement for people to push the boundaries on the forums, here and ssc.

btw, saw your car at trax, i was next to it when you were getting in during the rain with your missus - very nice, but please bolt the cage in, its an accident waiting to happen lol

But dems well cool yo

If i ever go above 15" shoot me.

[EssexHoney]

Large alloys are not cool and never will be ever again imo. 15" alloys ftw :)

My pet hate at the moment is boys that go around in corsas, with 17 or 18" wheels, and it makes corsas sit like tractors even if they try a lower it, it still looks like a complete heap of pig shit. Can they not see what it looks like? Annoys me everytime i see one now.

[pjm300]

haha! Don't you worry - I have a big list of things to do and that is right at the top! Should have said hello

you looked quite pissed off and as if you wanted to get out of the rain :D

i didnt blame you :D

[matt_vtr_15]

biggest ive seen on a saxo is 22s on that snake skin covered one
this the daddy?

[Scott]

snakskin one might have been good...if it wasnt covered in snake skin vinyl and just painted normally.

Bens car was cool:

[kcsaxo]

show cars with mad kits on and big wheels are the only way a small car should have oversized wheels that need half the car chopping off to fit.

[Add91289]

my mate put either 17s or 18s on his old 'N reg' 5 door corsa. he couldnt have any one in the back or it would perminently scrape the arches, and it looked naff! might av a picture on me old phone
