   very nice wheels, but i'm not sure about them on a saxo because wheels like that are supposed to be BIG. like 17-18" or bigger on jap cars. thats my opinion anyway.
   
   they look smaller than they are when on the car as they are split rim, so i would say go with 16" otherwise they will look too small. 16's will look more like 15's and 15's will look more like 14's, which is too small imo.
   
   most people on here will say 15" though.

    Thats what i thought because danjay's look tiny, but i reckon they will still look good, just have to wait and see.

    they should look bigger than danjay's because the middle on the ones you are looking at is white rather than black.
    
    hopefully they will look nice, they are really nice wheels

    I'd go for 16's and lower it less. That's just personal preference though, many like 15's better.
    Whatever you get; they are great looking wheels!

    IMO i'd stick with gettin some 15's and slammin' it because if you're gettin the white ones, i don't think they'll look as small because even though they're split rims, the white doesn't contrast too much with the lip so it shouldn't look too small
