   But id have to say 15s because any lower than 60mm on 16s even with 40 profiles and you have alot of work to do.
   
   plus 40 profiles are way expensive and i just didnt ave the time to fuck about with arch work
   
   15s = cheaper wheels and tyres + go low with less hassel + handles better
   16s = dearer wheels and tyres + go low with lots of hassel + dosent handle as good
   
   16s look good on the right saxo and if its done propley but be prepared to pay for it best bet if going for looks
   
   15s will look good on any saxo best bet if going for power
   
   hope this helps

    id say go 40mm with 195/45/15 tyers if you have a boot build 50mm if you just have a sub and amp and 60mm if you have nothing no rubbing issues will occour with any of the 3 set ups. but each to his own
