    at the moment i have 16" alloys on my 1.1, they look sweet but i can only take 2 people in the car or else they rub on the back wheel arches. im thinking about selling them and putting my old plain steelies on my car, they dont look as cool but then i can take passengers in the back. i have seen some saxos with plain black steelies and they look alright but compared to alloys what do you guys think?

    Get whatever wheels you want just dont go bigger than 15". I cnt imagine any 16" wheels looking gd on a sax but if you wanna keep them get some spacers. Imo VTR or VTS wheels are all a saxo ever needs.

    This is truth. Or spend some time making your steelies pretty

    ive got 16's on my 1.1 and can have a car full of people with no rubbing what so ever... remove your back wheel arches... mine seemed to have none when i had my standard wheels

    You can roll the arches yourself just jack it up, wheel off, then a hammer and a piece of wood to the lip. Then you should be fine
