think you'd need considerable spacers for those ?

Plus they are 15"..... will look too small on the Omega, especially with low profile tyres.

What about a set of Facelift Elite wheels?  ::) I'm not sure if they'd fit though.

Personally Im waiting for some of the new Insignia wheels to find their way onto an Omega. I really think there are some very stylish wheel designs, which would suit the Omegas curved well. Possibly would look better on a pre-farcelift, as they dont look as 'blocky'.

Also would tend to suggest no larger than 18", ideally 17" on Omegas. 19" VXR Astra/ Vectra wheels look amazing on an Omega, but they do shorten the car, visually. 17" seems to be about right.

i fitted a set of volvo wheels on mine.
