Title: Fall is here so its time for wheel change.
Post by: CateraMV6 on 30 October 2009, 18:12:54

Here are some pictures of the car with its summer wheels... and now the OEM Fall wheels.

Summer wheels are going in storage.
Fall wheels are on the car.
Winter wheels are being prepped with wax and a good polish.

Enjoy.

I would like to appologise for the long delay in replies to my post.  My ISP is where the problem was and for some reason they locked me out of this site.  so the only time I can visit is when I am at home (parents house)

Got if fixed now so I should be able to keep you guys updated.

They are nice but extremely heavy, I can feel the extra weight on the car, brakes, steering, acceleration, it all seems to be happening a bit slow.

Cant wait for summer again.

Summer wheels came from Opel Astra VXR, in the US you can find them as the Special Summer Option Package on the Saturn Astra XR.

Fall wheels are OEM Catera Sport wheels..

I am going to take the time and polish the throttle body a bit next weekend during the thermostat replacement.

I will clean as much as I can from the upper plenum and see if that helps any.

I would love to get the Mantzel box and try that out...
