    thats f*cking stunning^^^^^^ ive been trying to decide whether that style of wheel looked good on saxos and i think uve just made up my mind! are they ace ones? cus they're cheap aswel ive been thinkin of getting those... they look big aswel because the spokes stretch all the way to the end of the wheel if you no what i mean

    Nah they are Toora's mate.
    
    They are 40 profile rubber so they look even better!
    
    Still plenty planned unless i sell it and get an S2k

    ive heard that 17's are bad for handling as they have a tendancy to make the back end twitchy. Are 16's bad for this aswel? i wanna get 16's rather than 15's because they look better, but i dont wanna be paying out for alloys that are increasing my chances of writting my car off!
    
    Cheers

    I've had no problem with 16's dude,same rolling radius as your 14's just obviously abit more alloy so will be a bit heavier
