   I think your car looks really nice, and the wheels suit it. I've got 16" on mine at the moment and was thinking of upgrading to 17", how much is your car lowered by and do they rub?...................stay with the saxo

   I dont like big wheels on saxo's tbh. Just dont look right to me.
   
   I'd stick to 14's maybe 15's.
   
   Do 17s rub?

   its lowered 35mm on front and 3 clicks on the back which i think is 40mm. it rubs on full lock and a little bit at the back my boyfriend had to cut the brackets off for the corners of the rear bumper before that they scrubbed like hell xxx

   no, doesn't even rub with a car full, all the wheels i like only come in 15" or 17", so i'll keep looking. Where did you get yours from?

   16" FTW!
   
   I really like your saxo sexysaxogirl, Maybe just get the side strips and bumpers completely colour coded.
   
   I see your in Kent, where did you get your saxo lowered, mine needs doing desperately

    if your car is lowered by "clicks" as you say (aka notches) then its done wrong
