   I have recently brought a saxo 1.0i mischif that is currently standard and i am looking for some alloys. I have heard from another saxo owner that his alloys had damaged his steering rack. If anyone can give me some advise on this it would be a great help to me. Thanks

   Well he must have driven into something.
   
   Do not worry about it, i had 17" alloys on my 1.1 with no problems for a year, i know people with 19" on there 1.1 saxos with no problems.
   
   Dont worry about it, just find some you like and go for it

   I believe it depends on the year made, as later models all came with 4 stud hubs. The ealier 1.0i and 1.1i all had the 3 stud, then they started mixing and matching around the 99' model, then 2000 onwards all 4 stud...
   
   Or around that.

    there are some choice available with the 3 stud, but if u want a bigger range to choose from , go for a for stub hub conversion and then the world is you oyster, as the saying goes....

    Would it be possible to fit 6 stud alloys to my 3 stud? Or is that just a really stupid question?

    I wouldnt say 6 stud was possible though.
