   Went looking for new wheels today and have decided on white minilites.
   The shop have fitted them to a saxo before but dont know what size. Car is flat arch dropped 60mm. The other one that they did wanted 13s but the guy says it would leave big gaps in arhces so he went for 15s. I really want 13s but dont want it to look stupid.

   only time i could think about fitting 13's on a saxo is if i could one fit some 4poys under them and then would onli be for the cheapness of full slicks even still would props go for 14's!

   For a flatarch to pull off minilites in 13's, you need a serious drop on the front, 80-100mm and same for the rear. (coilovers needed for front)
