They don't have a particular name, but they were fitted to the following models;
MV6 / Elite / Sport from mid 2002 onwards, '52' plate typically.
Commonly called late style Elite or MV6 wheels.
I believe Twiglet had a set for sale.

03 wheels. Doesn't help much though does it. :(

Got a set here if Andy Vxlv6 doesn't want them. I know he was looking at one stage.

They do look good, they are my favourite mig alloys. I'm not 100% sure but im pretty certain I had the same or very similar alloys on my astra coupe. Does any1 know if they were fitted to these as well??

Astra's had similar wheels, but they were 16", these:

Sorry to be an old stick-in-the-mud, but forum guidelines ask not using text-speak here. We have plenty of disk space, so no need to shorten words :)

Its in the rules for a very good reason :)

As said, sorry to be a bore  :-[

sorry tb, sometimes I'm in a rush and it sort of types itself!! Wont happen again and I didn't realise it wasn't allowed on here.

I thought they were very similar on the astra and just checked the pics there they look identical. Hadn't even thought about trying to swap over as they left when the astra did!!

There is certainly nothing in the pictures to indicate it's not an elite, but you can never be 100% by looking at an advert on the internet. 

Just bare in mind that the DTi elites are not quite as well spec'd as their V6 petrol cousins.  :y

I thought they was off the vectra to be honest. I have the 5 spoke mv6 alloys but dont really like them and think of getting rid
