Need some opinions on these wheels
« on: 27 August 2011, 14:58:57 »

I have been given the opportunity to buy the wheels pictured below very cheap as the spokes need refurbing, However when I refurb them if I buy them I will be spraying them a normal alloy wheel silver and not keeping the chrome that they are now. They are 17" Toora Alloys.

Do you think they will suit my Omega? Also could someone if I ask very nicely edit them into a picture of my Omega if possible please?

Cheers

My opinion is don't do it. They are not that different from the ones you have on already and you could keep your eye out for some elite/mv6 wheels instead (which hopefully wouldn't need as much work done on them)

They are bigger and don't need much work but I would respray them anyway I think although I am starting to come round to the chrome, but there is no way I would get a chance at a set of Elite wheels which I am not too keen on anyway for the price of these delivered.

They're not that bad IMO, but I've yet to see a set of wheels that suit the car like Elite ones - but if you like 'em, get 'em  :)

Thanks cool. But I am in 2 minds cos even though I used to have a good imagination I can't picture the wheels on the Omega in my head lol. I like the wheels and I like the car. The wheels are only £50, then I am paying an extra £10 for packagin and paypal fee's as it is outside of Ebay, and then £29.95 for 24 hour delivery.

Although the guy that has got them has agreed to wait until the end of next month at the latest for me to pay for them.

If your only forking out 90 odd quid I would run with it, I am sure you would easily get the money back if you decided they are not for you and wanted to move them on..  :y :y

I think you'd be better spending the money on the front bumper, and you can get a decent set of Elite wheels for that money, cos I have a set here.   :y :-X

In my humble opinion of course  :)

I like them alloys, always did like toora's they have that spray chrome effect, should look good on the car, wont be surprised if it looks very similar to the ones you have on there! but 1" bigger?  :y
