also went back to the scrappies as the tyres were too big and were catching the arches, the nice people at the yard said this was no problem, so changed them from 195/60/15 to 185/55/15 and it didnt cost a penny

then went and got some paint (ford graphite grey), primer and laquer

got them all sanded down and repaired the kerb marks



primered

matty: cost me £60 for the wheels and tyres and then about £25 for paint and wot not, BARGIN :p

thats well good, i want them where did you get paint?

matty: got the paint from halfrauds for a few quid and then liam did an awsome job of spraying them, looks awsome up close.

195/55/vr15

hopefully have sum sweet 195/45/r15 on sunday on her

u've gota start somewhere. get yourself to a decent scrap yard, the one we went to had alsorts of vauxhall alloys like cav slabs, old style sxi's ,vectra sri's, tigra's etc.

they also had alloys from merc's, alfa's the list goes on

and if they wanted £60 for rare cesaros they cant of wanted much for the more common ones. all depends aswell on who u know aswell

i can get a set of 4 calibra alloys maybe if the boys still got them but ive not seen them yet and there 205 55 15's lol would they fit on a corsa without rubbing ?

nope 205/55/15 is way to big for a corsa, you need something like 185/55/15's or 195/45/15's
