or if you have an alternative suggestion pleas post pics thankyou.
 
totaly agree with dave, some mates of mine had the same sort of stuff and crubed them so much they regret ever buying them! Also never been a fan of the multi choice stud. Try and get one with just 4 look way better (y)
 
none of them, for first alloys you should have rim lip sticking out further than spokes. that way its an easy refurb when they get kerbed.
all them ones are going to suffer spoke damage if you slightly scrape a curb

ok didnt think ot that then again i dont plan on kerbing them but new driver so i except that will be likely.

do you have an alternative suggestion please? preferably in black or gunmetal.

i can accept that but dont want to bring up the old multi fit debate again im more concerened wether the actual style of wheel suits the car and if less kerb happy then all the better

No-one plans to kerb them, but occasionally you make a small mistake or get forced into it, the alloys on my Metro were kerbed to sh*t (afterall they were about 16), only one was due to me and I was playing dodge the Fire engine and mounted the kerb sharpish; it happens.
 
Multi-fit dont look too bad on a car that is already lovely (Like Lee's)

But on a 1.2 with no other mods and arches like stilts im afraid they wont help matters.

Kei force 10's are the best of them, although i also agree with the others about kerbing.

sorting wheels first, then lower, then linea kit and colour coded.

I mean realy the main Q is your budget. I mean you can get a set of cheap rubbish for like £100-200 or you can go nuts and spend over £2,000 on a sweet set of BBS rims?

These guys are local to me, and in terms of rims they have it all, these are the guys for rims!!!

upto about £700 but if i see something i particularly like i can stretch a bit.
 
I dont think you could get bravo 18's with that budget as I think he means with some rubber too.

Not too mention it will nakker a 1.2's 'box.
