Nice car, king but the wheels are too large for my taste

Looks reasonably oem to me! Is that running factory suspension or have you done a drop yet? Maybe another 15-30mm would work, nothing too low though! If std maybe just some MV6 springs to bring the wheels back into the body a bit??

Reserve comment for when I get my 18 Snowflakes on. Am with you on the whole, 19's just aint the Omega's era (plus the cost of the tyres is stoopid!).

Needs lowering on MV6 suspension, and spacers fitting to get it exactly how I want it.
The price difference between 18"and 19" tyres for goodyear F1's is only £15 a corner, so not as bad as people think.

.........exactly i260, the balance of wheel centre area to tyre wall height makes or breaks any installation and that balance is further effected by the gap between the entire wheel and the wheel arch.

I think that the Omega style suits the smaller wheel diameter - less is more

looks great buddy....now get her slammed!!

miniator · « **Reply #9 on:** 03 July 2009, 11:21:03 »

wayyyy too big and shell still sit as high as a 4x4 even with the mv6 suspension!

£15 extra corner soon adds up when you go through tyres every few thousand miles!

Thanks for the comments, Think it will look better with spacers tho. 19s all day long over 18s tho for me.
225/35/19 eagle f1s £125
225/35/18 eagle f1s £141
So not much difference unless you run 225/40/18 then it drops to about £105. So price difference aint as big as people first think.

All comments welcome.
Full spec elite with colour sat nav, low mileage, low owners, near immaculate.

lowered!

kingycos2 · « **Reply #16 on:** 03 July 2009, 19:02:33 »

Not lowered standard elite set up. Prob gonna drop it, but not an awful lot tho. What lowering springs do people use on elites, with it being self leveling at rear?

Del Boy · « **Reply #18 on:** 04 July 2009, 13:49:35 »

I like them, think they fit well

Looks good.

MV6 suspension should drop it enough. If you have a look around you can see some pics of my Elite 3.2 with the same wheels, but MV6 suspension.

Personally speaking I think your car looks fantastic. The pictures don't do it full justice, but you can tell it is a shiny one.

BTW: they are not "VXR" snowflakes. They come from a Vectra-C SRi. It doesn't ruin how they look at all though.

kingycos2 · « **Reply #20 on:** 07 July 2009, 13:22:24 »

Its gettin valeted on Saturday so will get some fresh better pics up.

squattingbeaver · « **Reply #21 on:** 10 July 2009, 15:39:12 »

Wow they look very nice...just one problem now...I want them on my car now.

kingycos2 · « **Reply #22 on:** 11 July 2009, 11:00:56 »

Cheers for the comments guys, the valeter just arrived so will get better pics up later.
