Parts for sale thread/
2 people mention MV6 alloys for sale, neither have posted pictures.
1 says says MV6 flat faced alloys other says MV6 bevelled edge allys, now of course bith of these may well be right according to year of manufacture, but could some kind person give me a quick lesson with pictures on wheel names and models of cars they were fitted on and their diameters.
TIA. :y
I like the wheels on the silver car in the following picture but dont know what they are called, not a fan of the wheels on the blue car but believe these to be the above mantioned flat faced MV6 wheels. Am I roght or wrong here.?

I think the blue car is a something from the VAG. The wheels on the silver Omega are CD alloys.
This is a Facelift 17" MV6 alloy

On this is the very similar 17" Elite Facelift alloy

As Pete said, the ones you like are bog standard CD wheels, and I think that is the full set of standard MV6 wheels now :y
-
So this Elite Josh is selling has MV6 wheels on, thats why I was getting confused.

Think it was 2002/2003 when MV6/Elite wheels became same as per Josh's car. Blue car pictured in the background above looks like a Skoda Superb to me!

About right, I was focusing on the wheels, not the car, I know there are some flat fronted miggy wheels and they were what I was looking at, I obviously really pay attension at 3.30am, in fact have not even been to bed yet, went out for a spin to take some photographs at 5.30am and got back at 8.00am. - in faxt tunnie, had it have been a sunny start I would have headed of to lady bower and derwent vally for my picks ( we talked about it a s a biker day out for you a while back) :y

Post 2002 '52' MV6's and Elite's have the same wheels, the 17'' later style, as seen on Jimbob's estate and both of my '03' Elite's. Pre '52' have the 5 spoke thicker design.
Phil, take a quick look at the guide to facelift's I created...I think it's in the FAQ section. That shows most wheels, shows older Elite wheels, CDX wheels and the later MV6/Elite wheels.
The wheels pictured in the photo you supplied are 16'' CD wheels, also fitted to police spec Omega's post '51' plate typically.

Just had another read as I had forgotton a lot of it, could'nt really get a good view of the wheels - excellent guide though.
Would be nice to have pictures of all the wheels available together somewhere, plus maybe the normal, prodrive and Irmscher comparisons for front and rear spoilers.

The ones EP posted are as he says, the ones on Joshs' cars were fitted to both the Elite and MV6 in 2002 on 52 plate cars and later. The blue car is a Skoda superb and the alloys on the silver car are 16" facelift CD alloys or 51 plate and later police special alloys in most cases :y

please forgive me if its been replied to elsewhere as i'm new ere,i find it difficult to reply to my posts as i don't know how to find them,the latest MV6 AND Sport have alloys that many Vectras seem to use,i think its called the design or somthing.Please someone else tell me have you seen Vectras with the same alloys around the 03 plate as top spec Omeeegahs :D

Only ones that are the same between VeccyC and Omega is the Snowflakes i think :-/
-
i have put a post in the other section regards this because i reckon Omeeegah alloys are the same as these fited to the same age Vectras
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-03-Vauxhall-Vectra-3-2-V6-ELITE-/120581168408?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c13329d18
basically i reckon if they are the same they are cheaper than buying them as Omeeegah as Top Spec Omeeegah stuff seems to be doing good money compared to other Vauxhalls imo of course :D
-
There not same, see my reply on your other thread. :y

The Vectra in the ebay ad are not the same as Omega alloys. Granted they look alike but different :y
As said only the snowflakes are alike, the rest are different, but some fit both Vectra and Omega, don't ask me which, haven't a clue ::)
Hope this helps :y
Mick ;)
-
Just to add, I rather like the CDX facelift alloys, than CD or Elite one's :y.
Mick ;)
-
what about ommegah steels with them frisbee wheel trims,i know where there is some and i think they are worth nowt :D
-
To add/confirm, wheels on josh's elite are refered to as 03 wheels I believe. As fitted to my 03 52 plate elite, and Kevins 03 52 plate mv6 and Jimbobs.
-
Take you are talking of these Chris. :y
Have also added other pics from Josh's gallery, what are the names of them all.
