Schmitt modern lines are the way forward, they are like the wheels on the white car but the spokes curve towards the outside of the rim the cut back in, hard to describe, but they are the best one piece euro wheel imo.
Google search them and they come up on the images...

Looks like?
Nicole, if you are able to drop the front 20mm physics states than the exhaust will scrape less

Can't really go wrong with the GAZ gha coilover kits, seem to be available for about £250-£300 if you keep an eye on 106oc for group buys etc

Tbh nicole, i think it would be a shame to change the wheels, they really suit the car and maybe when its abit lower and even put some spacers on, they will fill the arches more and look perfect

yeh was thinking gaz ones, got more important things to get first so will shop about for coilies.
no way im putting anymore spacers on it,
ive got 20mm on the front and 35mm custom ones on the back, i dont trust the 35mm ones as it is lol!
borbets are just done to death now, i only put them on as i didnt have anything else. ive got two options for wheels now but its a secret dont want anyone copying

Why don't you do what you was originally going to do with each wheel a different colour?

The larger size modern lines do that yea 16" and above
I'm pretty sure that White saxo is on 15" ones and the spokes run straight on them

Yea the modern lines are different to the ones on the other white saxo, there looks like there is less of a dish but they actually are wider than the origonals.

yea the larger sized modern lines are like that in your link
but that white saxo is on modernlines the smaller sized ones differ to the larger ones
http://images.forum-auto.com/mesimag..._bild2_gr5.jpg
like that
tbh i think its more to do with the offset and the angle of the spokes but the diameter seems to be the largest influence in what ive seen
14" ones allmost look flat across the spokes
