Neither if them. I used to have 17" original opel from a later model(i think they were insignia ones) with 235/45 front and 245/45 rear and they filled up the wheelwell nicely. I just added a 20mm spacer in the back so they came out better in the back. They made the car looking 10y younger. And being original wheels overhere it gave me more in return when i sold my caravan.

Wouldn't have been Insignia Wheels... They won't fit without changing the hubs... Totally different pcd ;)

Well most of you on here seem to like the original wheels.

There are 2 reasons why I have been looking at the Oz wheels:

1.  I picked them up cheap.
2.  My son and a few others have commented that it looks like an old man's car, or as a Scottish friend put it "fur flat cap und awe pip" ;D

1. Poor defence, oft used to limit fall out from 'er indoors.
2. It's an Omega... ::)

Happy to help...

Does it really matter what we think? These kind of things are very personal, no doubt you will get mixed views. 

But I also prefer the standard CDX ones.  :)

Well said young man  :y

I'm really not keen on anything that wasn't standard fit/optional. All IMHO of course .....

Then opel sells aftermarket wheels on new cars? The wheels came from the boss' wife's car and were swapped for 18" right after it was delivered.
