hey mate,

deep dish alloys will fit the same as normal alloys, aslong as you get the correct offset. which for a saxo i think is 15-18 ( i may be tottaly wrong if some one could correct) with the euro you need to be low as well, nothing less than 80mm is acceptable tbh

you cou could be looking at anything from 500 -2k for alloys minus tyres etc, avoid borbet ronal and schmidt as they are being totally over done try htn etc

and colour coded is the way to go

Is he bollocks, he asked me everything! Lol.

And no, they won't fit the same if you get the right offset (I had to run a minus offset to get mine to fit right), as you need to think about width too and stretch.

what i meant was ask kirkster so he could get back to danny for the answers and relay them to you.

talk to 'skorpion' mate

Little point to make, if your going euro, your gonna need deep pockets. Probably talking at least 2k, the most of that bein the rims which will prob cost near a grand. Proper euro rims are expensive, and you cant really go half arsed with euro its all or nothing. Smoothing and painting is expensive to get done at a decent bodyshop.

Not meanin to put ya off the idea but lots of guys get half way through, realise its a lot of money and give up and loose a lot of money in the process

aint got deep pockets but guna have my car a while and sum steady money cummin in so think i myte go for it, i only wana slam my car and have deep dishes. i put a pic of my car in photo shop to see what it will look like euro style 1st, jst w8 for sum one to av a bash.

tbh mate i would speak to dannyjay if he's willing to help. he's the only person on here who has fit wide wheels on a saxo and knows his stuff.

i explained how it works many times on here and cant be arsed to explain anymore tbh. if you search you will find the info you need.

kerkster may have fit wide wheels but he asked me and danny a million and one questions.

Iv been thinkin about the euro thing for over the past 2 weeks now and tbhi dont think iv got the balls to put so much time and money in my sax when there is another car i want. you relly need to think about this befor your start anythink. even tho the smooth bumpers ect will look good if you dont go full eure
