steel wheels? not a dumb idea just creativeness on the cheap. i was wondering if its possible to fit 14" steel wheels to my corsa with a low profile tyre? i cant afford to fit alloys and the insurance is killing me as it is. any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Don't see why not, might make the speedo abit inaccurate depending on how low the profile. If your set on steelies why not go for 15's they might take abit more sourcing though as i believe they were used as mainly spares.
