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

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

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.

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!!!

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.

 

[beany_bot]

meh the lasts ones but i voted other beacuse i think you should get the sporting alloys, makes sense, looks good and not chavy.

Metro vs Fire engine; I didn't fancy the metros chances!

 

[OCZedd]

Does that even have a NCAP?

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

upto about £700 but if i see something i particularly like i can stretch a bit.

Same happened to me vs an ambulance, and again last week with a skoda estate.

 

[beany_bot]

with your budget defo get braavo 18"s (new) or old style fiat schumacher 18"s and you can get them rebired to fit.

 

[OCZedd]

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.

 

[Pomp]

Yeh the car wont move.

aye with rubber. the fin 7's are lightweights and the others arent exactly heavy.

dont want any bigger than 17" smallest will have is 15"
