Wanted: pics of alloys on Omega
« on: 25 March 2008, 23:49:06 »
Hi Guys

I'm looking to replace my MV6 wheels hopefully with some 18"s. I would appreciate if you could post some pics of your alloys on the car so that I can get some idea of what I would like or what would look nice on the car.

Ideally I would like the two tone effect of the MV6 so if anyone has any recommendations, that would be great.

Thanks

Kam

Well, they are two tone, even if they're a bit mental!

These are Astra Wheels 18x7.5  offset is 37mm you can get them easily on your side of the pond...  tires are 225/40-18
Sorry For the many pictures I just wanted to show you what they look like from many angles... look around in my old posts if you want more or simply let me know...

Good luck with your choice...

I would also recommend these BBS wheels out of a Saab 9-3... 18s... great looks with the plished lips...






As well as these EUROMAX 612s... you can get them in a variety of sizes... and they are cheap too.. I think these will be my next wheels...




And these GM Forged 10Spoke rims... which I still have... planning to sell them but I am going to ask at least 150$/pc... as they are extremely rare and very strong/light

You forgot to tell him about the H&R 25mm spacers you have on the rear or did you take them off for the Astra wheels?

Nope they are still on there... I keep them on all the time...
The Astra wheels look a bit tucked in without them... but some people dont mind that look I guess... I like the back to be as wide as possible...

Now I just have to figure out a way to get rid of 2 sets of Catera Sport rims... and the Forged GM wheels... I need some new tires...

Now ,this is not my actual car although mine is the same model /colour but after seeing this I bought a set off Ebay .Unfortunatley they were the wrong offset so I've just bought a set of facelift Elite wheels instead but I thought the BK Racing 299's looked fantastic on the Estate .
