you'd be surprised how noticeable just 6mm can be

they'll ll be standard alloys, no irmscher or aftermarket of any kind, but as said, its the individual alloy weight that'll be the only obstacle

still. its a distant idea unless the car sells

Have you checked the offset on both wheels are the same? Even standard Vauxhall wheels can have different offsets.
I would imagine that the old MV6 with the Irmscher wheels that I had came with a 6mm lower offset to widen the track and make the handle "sportier"

Edit
Just checked and the facelift 17's were all ET39, only the Irmscher MV6 wheels were 33.

Must be the OCD but I couldn't do this....

Some Austin 1800s were supposed to have left the factory with brown coachline down one side, black on the other!

Not to many problems if the wheels on the front are not the same as the wheels on the back (both front are the same, both back are the same wheels).
But if drivers side are different than the passenger side that is not the car I would like to be in especially if driven faster and on twistier roads.

Hmm never seen a mig with bigger alloys on the back than those on the front (something like early corvette models had), wonder how it would look like?

Bigger or wider?

Both

different offset will be noticeable even when as small as 2mm. Expect ABS to be confused, too.

i might just refurb one side charcoal grey and keep the other side silver!
