hi im thinkin of buying mv6 alloys for my elite should i ?? he is also sellingTwo tyres still fitted  - 235/45 and Also four Pirellis 215/45's not on rims would both sizes fit???
should i leave as is???
how much should i pay there only three pirellis as 1 has side wall damage? any advice will be great...

The correct tyre size for elite & MV6 is 235/45/17 (both the same tyre/wheel spec). I don't think the pirellis will be anywhere near the proper fitment  

Wouldn't bother risking tyres with sidewall damage either. Remember, your life rides on those tyres!

is it facelift or pre??

it depends on the look you want, facelift elite and MV6 alloys are both 17, it really depends on the look you want, MV6 making it look sportier and elite looking... "smooth"

facelift MV6 alloys   8-)

pre face lift........so i think i will leave it if the tyres dont fit..

If you pop down to Kinross Services on Sunday afternoon I'll bring a prefacelift MV6 alloy and you can see how soft they are with the inner rim distorted.  It will let you know what to look for, anyway....

I prefer the facelift MV6 alloys to the pre-facelift elite wheels, check out the pic's below to see how mine looked before and after.

And Pre-Facelift elite Wheels on the same car;

A close up


Pre-facelift wheels, which I think look nice on a black Omega;

yes well the new ones are probley nicer but more expensive . i take it they are 17s aswell think i might just hold out for a set of them thanks for the pics makes it a clear choice   i have a charcoal grey colour elite and my elite alloys are in good nick just think 17s would look better fill the arch if you know what i mean.

The prefacelift MV6 alloys are incredibly soft - I have a massively buckled one in my garage.

I now have 3 out of 4 with various buckles in my garage, 2 with Goodyear F1's with about 4/5 mm in the centre left (both shoulders are well down though....   )
