its a personal choice really mate. i like the idea of black alloys on a black car. it gives it an 'evil' look in a sense but its a good look.
maybe something like these....http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=dotz+h ... x=52&ty=54

if uve got coilovers and u wana go lower than 40mm u will need alloys with offset et49 or at worse et46 to stop uy having to do any arch work to accomodate the wheels. these are very rare offsets to find in aftermarket alloys so your pretty much looking at any 4 stud vauxhall alloys (or 5 stud if u want to buy the conversion parts). Cav slabs and cesaros (nt sure of spelling) are the usual ones but if u have a look around the projects on here u will get some ideas of what other alloys will look good and suit your car :)
