hi all!! yesterday i brought myself a red saxo 1.1i forte n i am wanting to put alloys on it... wat would u lot recommend?.

12th February 2006, 17:35

what do you mean?...type? size?

if its size you mean id go for 15's with 195/45/15 tyres.

i want to put 15" on but i was wondering wat 15" to get....

13th February 2006, 02:07

some 15's have a rim width of 7" which you should probably avoid man as your car is a flat arched saxo - it'll mean there could be scubbing issues with a few mates in the back and with speed bumps...

The vital info (provided yours is a 4 stud) that you need to start choosing and pricing alloys are

PDC 4x108
ET 15-20 (or something like that)

Depends what look you want to go for...?

Could have some white multispokes for a bit of rally action, some chrome spinners for that pimpy look, some black 5/7spokes for that street sleeper look, some deepdish for the european look...

The list goes on.

What have you got planned for the rest of the car?

im wanting to go for street look i quite like the oz racing hydra 15,s wat do u think i dnt think multi spokes would look thaty gr8 on it..
plans for the rest of the car are...
*induction kit
*sportex exhaust system
*interior styling
*finishing off my boot build
*lowering
*maybe kit it
this is my first car so i cnt go to mad

think all 1.1's are 3 stud so its gonna be hard to find any not impossible but limited for choice

I'm pretty sure OZ hydra alloys are 7" wide which is gonna give you tonnes of fun trying to stop the bastard arches scubbing. especially if you want to lower it too

not all base models are 3 stud, seems ones at R reg and earlier are 3 stud.

14th February 2006, 01:29

Yeah mines an R reg n its a 3 Stud and my m8 has a P reg and his also is a 3 stud.... Why Bother lol?

14th February 2006, 01:30

Soz forgot to put on other message, I know another guy with base model 52 reg...4 stud

14th February 2006, 02:49

Its a forte, so it'll be 4 stud wont it ?

14th February 2006, 02:50

my mate has a T reg and its 4 stud

lucky git!

This is Greensaxo's 1.1 - looks pretty good on those rims...

14th February 2006, 05:51

^^loving the mud, bet he ripped up the earth with all that power

fox alloys are good, but you got to think about the rubbing..

14th February 2006, 17:41

rubbings nothing to worry about mate, you can easily sort that out

if you want some multi spoke wheels id go for some team dynamics pro race 1.2 ...there light weight race wheels.

fox wheels weigh a fooking ton

14th February 2006, 19:01

fuck fox wheels - get some speedlines...they dont weigh half as much!!

14th February 2006, 22:16

ive got a furio with 17's on and the rubbing is minimal, it only rubs on the plastic mud deflecter bits and they r gettin sanded down on saturday

17th February 2006, 21:08
