   firstly, i don't care what you say a 5dr saxo lx is better than a 3dr vtr. lol
   
   secondly, i have shitty 13's on my car at the min and i was wondering what size to go for, i'm thinkin 14 vtr wheels. what do you guys think.
   
   is anyone selling any? lol

   VTS rims would look nicer imo. They are 15" I wouldn't go any bigger than
   16" on a saxo or you can get problems with wheels rubbing and stuff

   Is your car lowered? might look like it sits a bit higher with big wheels but a bit of lowering would sort that out

   it will sit the same as it does now just the alloys wheels will be bigger as all saxo wheels are the same with tyres on...
   
   
   its just the profile of the tyre that differs

   As its a base model saxo, check the number of bolts on the wheels.
   Some are three stud, where as the higher spec ones are four stud.
