looks good fella, i have the same wheels as your white ones on my corsa gsi! i only stuck them on as i sold the original gsi ones and i had them lying round in the shed (off my astra) but they do look good and decided that id keep them on they do suit the corsa, and im glad to see i aint the only one who thought that!

[bellersrodders]

couldnt find any pics or any1 saying they have them on ur the only other person i no of that has them. what colour are yours standard silver take it?

[RobJenko]

yeah, as said, i sold the gsi wheels on to a mate and the astra ones were in the shed so i stuck them on the corsa as a temp measure but recon they actually look good so as a last job when the corsa is ready to come back on the road, i will get them refurbed and prob sprayed antharite or black with a shiny rim.

[dearing5]

i like it!

single wiper really goes well, wheels look good as well mate

[markcooke]

i like that white wheels suit the blue paint work looking good

[bellersrodders]

thanks for the comments glad 2 here hm good r bad

[Nemesis]

Now you've done the lights and sunstrip TBH the wheels look a bit out of place! Maybe do them anthracite or black to match?

[bellersrodders]

was thinking of trying black b4 i get them done properly to see what they look like

[Benn]

looks good dude,
but dont put the axel stands on the sills...

[Fow16v]

can i ask what size tyre u running on them rims with 60mm springs?

[RobJenko]

^^ if they are standard size like mine, then it'll be 195/60/r14, so simerlar to the standard gsi size.

[Fow16v]

ah thought they were 15s dont matter then, am tring to figure if i can turn the wheels with 195 60 15 tyres and 60 drop lol

[bellersrodders]

165/65/14 tyres

[RobJenko]

you sure fella? they should be 195, 60, 14 as on your wheels before refurb^^^

[bellersrodders]

nope i put 165/65 on as they haave smaler tyre wall. was the smallest tyre will i cud get in short notice

[bellersrodders]

decided not to take of the road as when i started out with this we car i said itl b a project that wil be done without taking of the road. so bought a few things for it

only a nova sr steering wheel and black bonnet so far




still to go on are the eyebrows need paint black hopefully done this weekend or during next week
