I have been given the opportunity to buy the wheels pictured below very cheap as the spokes need refurbing, However when I refurb them if I buy them I will be spraying them a normal alloy wheel silver and not keeping the chrome that they are now. They are 17" Toora Alloys.
Do you think they will suit my Omega? Also could someone if I ask very nicely edit them into a picture of my Omega if possible please?
Cheers

My opinion is don't do it. They are not that different from the ones you have on already and you could keep your eye out for some elite/mv6 wheels instead (which hopefully wouldn't need as much work done on them)
-
They are bigger and don't need much work but I would respray them anyway I think although I am starting to come round to the chrome, but there is no way I would get a chance at a set of Elite wheels which I am not too keen on anyway for the price of these delivered.
-
They're not that bad IMO, but I've yet to see a set of wheels that suit the car like Elite ones - but if you like 'em, get 'em :)
-
Thanks cool. But I am in 2 minds cos even though I used to have a good imagination I can't picture the wheels on the Omega in my head lol. I like the wheels and I like the car. The wheels are only £50, then I am paying an extra £10 for packagin and paypal fee's as it is outside of Ebay, and then £29.95 for 24 hour delivery.
-
Although the guy that has got them has agreed to wait until the end of next month at the latest for me to pay for them.
-
If your only forking out 90 odd quid I would run with it, I am sure you would easily get the money back if you decided they are not for you and wanted to move them on.. :y :y
-
I think they'd look quite nice on your car :y
-
Chav-me special!
But if you like them thats all that matters, not other peoples opinions! :y
-
I think you'd be better spending the money on the front bumper, and you can get a decent set of Elite wheels for that money, cos I have a set here. :y :-X

That's an offer you shouldn't refuse car-nut :y
In my humble opinion of course :)
-
I like them alloys, always did like toora's they have that spray chrome effect, should look good on the car, wont be surprised if it looks very similar to the ones you have on there! but 1" bigger? :y
-
I thought I would try and edit the photo's, I know my editing is awfull lol I am no longer paying postage but am in fact driving up to get them in 2 weeks time. I just hope they do look ok.

Awful! :(

Awful! :(
Have to agree, but at the end of the day, what me or anyone else thinks is irrelevant. Its if you like it :y
-
Awful! :(
What part is awful? My editing or the wheels on the car? ;D ;D ;D
-
My 2nd attempt at putting those wheels on my car using paint lol This time I think I have made the wheels a more realistic size.

Chavtastic IMHO, but if its what you like :y
-
just an opinion, there are models with more arms which hides the brakes and discs.. and a bit better looking.. check them also.. :y

Ok, Not my month for doing stuff to my Omega, I have had to pull out of the sale of the wheels as I have just IMPULSE bought a caravan ;D ;D ;D
I will be in the dog house for a couple of weeks by my other half as they didn't want me to get another caravan but me being me determined as ever bought one rather cheap.
No one would believe I am only 25 would you the way I am talking about caravans ;D ;D ;D

True. Petrol and matches will not ;D

Is this guy real? ;D
For someone to constanly bleat about not having the money for this or that he seems to be doing OK ;D ::)
-
Is this guy real? ;D
anybody ever met him yet ? just curious ::) ::) ::)
-
I impulse bought, but have borrowed the money for the caravan as it was only £137 I won it for.

Get a very nice tent for that :y
-
like the wheels. hate caravans :)
-
Caravan is not happening now as the guy who advertised it failed to tell some important facts about it, like it needs new tyres to be towed again as the pictures he used were taken 2 years ago when he first got it. So Omega is back in line for the work. And back to can't make my mind up officially about the wheels.
-
That'll save TB a gallon or so of petrol. ::)
-
Walter Mitty ::)
-
My head is spinning with all the choices and options I now have in front of me again lol.
So I am taking a step back, not doing a thing to my car until after the 15th September as my wedding anniversary is on the 12th so need to sort out something special for that.
And I got to fix the ruddy 2.2 Sri Vectra Estate I have got and get it VIC tested asap!
-
Just so you know something that may or may not explain the way I write posts the way I do and talk the way I do is mainly down to the fact I have aspergers syndrome And as you have probably guessed, I have 2 obsessions, Cars and Photography, mainly of cars ;D ;D ;D
I am sure most of you guys will get used to me ;D ;D ;D And my backwards ways ;D ;D ;D
I also have a permenant back and joint problems and some other horrible disabilities and sometimes I may repeat myself when asking for help on different posts but this is down to some medications that I am on for my joints that causes memory problems for me. So please bear with me and I hope you guys can give me a little extra help if I ask really nicely and I will try and help others where I can.
But please don't pu**y foot around me, I still obviously know that I have to follow the rules etc... But sometimes would be appreciated if I get a bit of a nudge in the right direction if I do accidently repeat posts, and if I annoy ppl too much ;D ;D ;D
I used to own a Ford Galaxy and can tell you now that in the 10 Months I owned it, I took over 4000 photo's and all cars that come through me that I work on and modify or fix have extensive history from the moment I get them ;D ;D ;D
