   BEen toying with a few ideas for the VTR recently and after tring to think of a set of wheels that would look fresh on the car I think I've decided on this:
   
   
   
   15 inch steelies with C4 wheel trims! Not quite the finished look but try to imagine that sat another 20mm lower at the front and 30mm at the rear.
   
   Opinions?

    Gutted
    
    They should fit a saxo with not too much effort i'd have thought though?

    Yeah they were pretty massive tyres. With something with a smaller sidewall theyd fit the Sax, no probs.

    Craig, that actually looks pretty good!
    But the problem with steelies and trims is that everyone thinks you can't afford alloys, therefore I'd have to avoid them if I could!

    Whats going on?!
    
    Round here if someone took alloys off their car and put some steels on and some wheel trims they would never live it down!
    
    Alloys look a million times better imo
