Not sure what type you are after, but I bought these 3 or 4 weeks ago http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260391068310

My idea is to colour code them to the car.

He's after the rims that are similar style to those, but just 5 spokes & are 17"
£20 for 4 rims? Sounds a bargain. :y  :y  :y

I think the ones above are CDX wheels are they not? good price either way.... :y

£250 with reasonable tyres sounds good to me,im not really desparate for them just think they would finnish the car off,i always thought the Elite's sat better with the bigger wheels,i think the spoke set up makes them look even bigger than they are,after all they are only 1" bigger than the rest....

So has anyone got a set then? ;D :y

I thought that about them too ( I have facelift alloys on my prefacelift) until I parked next to my brother's 7 series BMW. His has 20"  :-? they made mine look like pram wheels.  :'(

 ;) ;) ;)

Have a look at this item no. on ebay:  200341245072

They look good. Unfortunately the seller has stated "Will arrange for local pick up only (no postage)". If you were interested, and were to win them, you may be able to arrange a collection by TNT etc.

I saw those of Dave M's ..... not a bad price - mine were £230 but the tyres could be better. Go for it, don't ask/tell SWMBO she'll not notice them any way. I didn't and she hasn't ( I don't think  ;D). Besides, silent meals only last for so  long.  ;)  ;D  ;D  ;D
Very late Elite have another style  ....... I'm not as keen on these though, a bit too open for my liking.  :y Mr R Budden (http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/VAUXHALL+OMEGA/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146-236,N-240-4294966638-4294966947/advert.action?R=200913331479630&distance=169&postcode=BL8+1XW&channel=CARS&make=VAUXHALL&model=OMEGA&min_pr=&max_pr=&max_mileage=&vehicleYearOfManufacture=2003&vehicleRegLetter=03)
