Limited edition surely means they make a set number such as 500 like the scooby rb5 edition and sell them on. There's actually more limited editions on the road then normal ones. In my estate alone there's 7 corsa d 5 of which are limited edition. How do you explain that. I hate them. Corsa b's are just htid! Haha

Noooo, if you look on facebook they're everywhere. I used to like them but people catch on and now the novelty's wore off :lol: yeah limited edition Corsa's are horrendous. My mate swear's that it's because the dealership can only order one a month to the shop, but that's bullshit because 12 per year for each dealer wouldn't result in thousands of them in one place haha, you could probably guess that he has one so's he's just defending himself haha. I go to uni where only 3 or 4 people in my hall drive, 2 of them own limited editions :lol:

Space saver's usually have a maximum speed of like 50mph though don't they haha? I got ffered some G60 banded steelies in black and metallic purple to swap for my cups but they were 8.5j. No way they'd have gone under the car :lol:

There only that speed because of the width of the tyre. Once their banded it's just like any other wheel only its out there as a one off

@mbonner02 banded space savers look amazing! I've only ever seen pictures on a golf.

Oh yeah that makes sense. I'm slowly going off banded steelies though, I don't know why they're just too common

Got a decent update. Was supposed to go and see some BBS RZ wheels today, but a few hours before I bottled it because I fancied something with a bit more dish haha. He gave me a price I couldn't refuse though so I went anyway, and I'm so glad I did. Ended up buying them and they're just what I'm after, right colour and tuck just how I wanted them to;

On the car;

And got a quick picture of the front, love the width of them from the front [emoji16]
Image

Also bought a new rear number plate lens/housing directly from Vauxhall. Only £3 something and gets rid of the horrible yellow colour;

Only downside of the wheels is there's a centre cap missing which I need to get hold of and they don't sell spigot rings from VW to Vauxhall centre bore. It's only a 0.5mm difference, but I'm worried the bolts will come lose haha. A lot of people have suggested electrical tape but I'll figure something out, not paying £50 for custom ones for a 0.5mm difference.

Been a good day all in all [emoji4]

Colour is amazing with the silver :)

What size are they? Bit small looking

That front wheel looks too far forward to me, was it ever hit
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
