Did'nt even look at the price. I would'nt disgrace my Mig let alone be seen in it with such utter tasteless tat fitted. Anyone fitting these to a Mig should be hung by their nostrils & flailed with thorn bushes until they can recite War & peace in Latin. If i ever do anything as rather' outrageous as this please take me out the back & shoot me 'coz all hope would be lost.

Hello mate. Went off a bit did'nt i? I just don't get this ultra low profile thing. It looks gay on a gay car let alone a Mig. This is in the realms of starship enterprise bodykits on puntos & other such Sh*te where the owner thinks it's cool but everyone else thinks you're a dweeb. I know my exhaust is probably in questionable taste but really, ultra low teenage profiles on a Mig???? ::) FFS.

 ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

I do wonder what the ride would be like. I could tell a definite difference when I put the facelift 17" on mine, not uncomortable .... but still a difference.  :y  :y

Get the impression neither of you guys are keen on changing to non standard wheels? I know Andys not, think Amigo is still a little unsure? :-) sport stars and snowflakes are out too then?

Personally very much like the low profile "look" and prefer the wheels to fill and sit nearer to the arch, only 19s seem to look right side on but needs lowering to avoid an up on stilts appearance and not sure i can be arsed with all that. Stock wheels always look too small and track too narrow to me, esp the rear. Just my sense of proportion i guess.

The "gay" wheels(disappointingly polite response from TB I thought :-) ) look awsome on the vxr astra for which they where designed imho esp. diamond cut but as Amigo says probably ott on the omega without the aggressive vxr body shape.

Looking around for wheels with decent tires as i have a mild desire to change the"ok ish" face lift elite/mv6/03 wheels before a replace the appaling Falken 912s for conti Sc2 or similar, once new tires go on, thats it keeping mig wheels. Might space em out a bit tho. Just look a bit too.....pramy?

Thanks for opinions so far.....

The spoke gap isn't as extreme as many other large diameter alloys, so you wouldn't get too much sight of the ugly disc/calliper arrangement.


I don't think the styling of the Omega suits the larger diameter rims however - they never appear to sit naturally enough without lowering the car and going for that 'bad boy' look :-/ :-/

If I've managed to do this right ?  (1st time I've done this adding pics so I hope it's worked okay.

I've roughly mocked up the wheels so you'd have an idea of what they looked like on the car ?.

Personally there not my style though.

Hope it helps you ?.

Personal view - nice wheels on the Vectra - not so sure on an Omega though.

Note the sellers blurb - "ADVERTISING FOR A EMPLOYEE AS HE AS NO INTERNET ACCESS...." yet then says "THESE ARE IN MINT CONDITION AS THEY WAS ONLY ON MY CAR FOR 6 WEEKS DUE TO CAR NOW BEING FORSALE . . . "   :-? :-?

I had a chat with TB @ E. Anglia meet & we agreed that standard MV6 rims look the nuts but the the buckling issue lets them down. I'm lucky enough to have a good spare set all refurbed & NOT for sale, sorry, but if i did'nt i would go for aftermarket rims in black with a deep alloy dish.
    I'd stick to the same profile though, no lower for me thanks. :y

Like them as Jimbob say like the pre face one which i love  ;) ;)

Mmm, modern day irmscher mv6 wheel.

As others say though, you would never run them as your everyday wheel coz they would ruin SO easily with that laquer finish and 35 profiles and how much do 19's cost to get refurb'd???!!!. PLUS, how many 19's do you see on ebay that have had cracks repaired on them - seems that there is a weakness with these when running such low profiles. Looks the biz but stick to 17's or 18's for everyday.

Also remember that with next to no compliance in the tyres the ride will be harsh and the suspension will take more of a pounding. It gets punished enough on an Omega as it is IMHO.

Not for me, personally, but each to their own.
