Yeah mine looked daft on 17s til it were lowered. Actually it probably still looked daft lol here's what it looked liked once lowered 30mm (see below). I've seen em with 18s though and alot of wolfrace fitments for it come it 18s.

dont go for one of the big named manufacturers. they are all crap. the mass market wheels are all too heavy and badly made.
the best wheels to go for are Rota, Work, Kei-racing, Volk, Compomotive. etc
bad manufacturers, Oz, Team dynamics, Wolfrace, Fox, TSW, basicaly anything you can go into halfords and buy off the shelf is a big no no. they are all ok, they are all acceptable, but in a 17" or 18" the weight of them will be hurendous.
my set of 15" rota slipstream wheels with tyres are light enough to pick them all up in one go quite easily. conversly an 18" oz TITAN alloy wheel on its own is far too heavy to even lift to your chest without some serious muscles.
go for some 17" rota's on toyo T1R's and drop it 30mm. you will not regret it.
and if you can afford them at the mo...... dont get them yet. save up.

you cant compensate the ride height of a vehicle with a body kit. it would just look like a standard micra with a body kit.
a lowering kit is only £90.... how much is a body kit?
i hate saxo's and punto's with those silly side skirts and huuuuuuuge gurning rear bumpers hanging down from the car, it just makes them look fat lipped and cumbersome.

Hi, sorry if I'm a hijacking your thread a little, but does putting on larger diameter wheels affect the reading on the speedometer or something? Or can you just whack them straight on?
I agree and disagree here...
The brands I reccomend would be Work, Rays (they make Volk), Weds, SSR, and the like. I wouldn't touch Rota's with a 10 ft pole! Put simply, they're just cheap copies of popular models...and when I say cheap, I mean in both price and quality. They're made in the philippines, NOT Japan...and like most knockoffs made in struggling countries, they're not worth wasting your money on.
Don't take my word for it though, see for yourself:
