[The Sheriff]

Just had to dig deep and give Vx £158 for a wheel, tyre, threaded spindle and securing nut. Robbing barstewards 
Phoned dixons Vauxhall breakers in Leeds and was told they are never available because the wheel is different from astra H.

'kinell!

'kinell!

On a good note, the threaded spindle was only £2odd. Never bought a Vx part for under three quid.

Pcd is different, 115 iirc, not even the same as the Insignia

On a side note and I know the Omega is a different size to the disAstra, but Saabs have a 5 stud space saver which will fit the older VXs.

Just adding it incase of future searches.

Where's Opti to tell me how minted I am?

Don't know about the offset, the tyre size is 115/70/16.
The tyres on the car are 205/60/16's which, I think, are different to Astra H (205/55/16's?).

Nah. £140 with postage that one. I've got a jack and wheel brace, so don't need any more garage fodder. I'd have to wait in for it and, most of all, it's fickin eBay.
Don't mind spending the extra £18 to have it actually in my car.

The Omega comes with a spare.

The Pcd is the spacing of the studs/bolt holes Astra H, like the Vectra C, Saabs, Omega, and all other previous five stud GM cars (excluding bigger Holdens) are all 110mm, the Astra J/Zafira C is 115mm and the Insignia is 120mm

The Omega comes with a spare.

Pity it doesn't come with a spare engine.

The Omega comes with a spare.

Pity it doesn't come with a spare engine.

Most of us have one

So how much extra has the old boy shelled out so far on his 8000 mile Astra?

The list is growing.
