think you'd need considerable spacers for those ?

offset is 49ET on those, totally wrong for the omega

Plus they are 15"..... will look too small on the Omega, especially with low profile tyres.

theyre 16s. they still look too small on the cavalier though. great on novas and even mk2 astras.

What about a set of Facelift Elite wheels?  ::) I'm not sure if they'd fit though.

Personally Im waiting for some of the new Insignia wheels to find their way onto an Omega. I really think there are some very stylish wheel designs, which would suit the Omegas curved well. Possibly would look better on a pre-farcelift, as they dont look as 'blocky'.

Also would tend to suggest no larger than 18", ideally 17" on Omegas. 19" VXR Astra/ Vectra wheels look amazing on an Omega, but they do shorten the car, visually. 17" seems to be about right.

i fitted a set of volvo wheels on mine.
got them off ebay for the tyres but though id try them  as they had five holes and they fitted fine.
ran them till the tyres wore out with no proplems.
