    They're a bit Italian restaurant... I see where you're coming from, but the message isn't getting through...
    
    Maybe if they were stripes or something...

    The ones on that Corsa look like Mk1 Golf wheels..
    
    Dont forget guys that 4x100 PCD VW steelies are the wheels your seeing on the Vauxhall euro cars that are popping up lately.
    
    Our Saxo's are 4x108, and colour standard steelies look shite to be honest.. banded steelies with a stretched tyre would look good..

    No, ill second that. Those wheels look to small for it, and im not sure whats going on with the bonnet. But each to their own.
    
    As for steelies though, I think they look quite good painted up, especially in white.
