Omega with GSi Alloys! Opinions?
« on: 11 April 2008, 19:09:51 »
I like graphite alloys as you can probably see from my current alloys which I had done last year. I just came across a pic of an astra with graphite VXR alloys, I don't know if they are factory or custom but I like them. Might be a possibility for a change in the future, assuming the offsets are ok etc. Just thought i'd gauge some opinions!

Would look like this if they are 17" but I have a feeling they are ussually 18" or 19"



I Had a guess to what some 18/19s would look like

there's quite often a 2.0 or 2.2 on ebay that isnt managing to sell, it's green with an irmscher kit and those alloys (they're GSi, not VXR) and it looks very nice!

They are nice wheels but looks like they sit a little to far in on the rear. :-/

I considered a set of these on E bay some time ago and asked the offset on a Zafira website and was told they were ET47 which ,if true, is too high for the Omega. ( 35 to 45 )

I think they look mint. One of my favourite sets of Vaux alloys.

Thanks for all the opinions chaps, good & bad!  :'(

I did think there could be an offset issue, probably just keep the MV6 alloys for now, but when I'm ready to change I'm sure there will be plenty of offers for them.

As for the comment about the rear wheels looking too far in! I see what you mean but, I'm not sure if people realised that both these pics are done in photoshop, not actually on the car! so never gonna look perfect!

nice comments though, thanks
