MV6 wheels are not the same as Elite wheels, similar ..... but different.
These are face lift MV6 rims

I got mine from a local scrap yard - advertised via eBay. They do come up from time to time but are sought after.
There's ONE here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/omega-elite-alloy-wheel-and-tyre_W0QQitemZ180419036712QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET?hash=item2a01d00628&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14)  :-/

agree with what andy says, think you stand more chance getting them by buying a whole car on ebay...unless any ex-plods come with them-think they only came with the cd wheels on the facelifts :-/

No facelift police Omega's for frontline duty ever had anything other than either 15'' steel wheels, or the 16'' alloys from either CD or CDX spec. However, I once did see an early facelift police demonstrator with the MV6 wheels...the same as the one's in Andy B's post.
I think the best way to get some Elite wheels is to just keep looking on ebay. And you never know, a facelift Elite may be broken for spares on here. You never know. Occasionally some people with Elite's want different wheels i/e bigger one's (snowflakes etc), so by no means is it a hopeless search.

yep! or even if you managed to get hold of a 3.2 elite... i might be interested even if it did have a slushbox...provided it was the right colour lol, i like the facelift mv6 wheels but meh i have a thing for the prefacelift mv6 wheels, they remind me of the BBS RK's i think they are
