jonny, in response to what others have said on this thread, i have a great set of facelift 17" elite wheels on offer, i'll PM you.

nice zafira there, the gsi's are the fastest people carrier in the world i think. arden blue is an amazing colour too but you have to watch what car its on. i did consider it for my cavalier respray but its just not going to work on it which is a shame.

you're right too, the wheels need to be solid and work with the car. those vxr alloys there looked great on the zafira.  :y

We could push this into another topic/thread...

Top ten Vauxhall Alloys
Top Ten Vauxhall Colours

!

My sad contribution would be Irmscher MV6 wheels and Champagne pearlescent.(Mk 1 vectra colour, would look lovely on a Senator/Omega/Calibra)

Best colour surely has to be Imperial green from the lotus carlton or maybe the red found on the mk2 cavalier calibre. Who knows hey, but the snowflakes must be in the top five alloys. Especially on an omega...
Not that I'm Biased or anything....

Haha! Not biased atall, no!

Carmine red, I think it was called? Classic colour. Basically the 80s version of Flame Red that EVERYTHING was in during the 90s. I thought of Imperial Green, but couldnt be bothered starting an argument about whether it is technically a Lotus colour, or some such..umm... buzzcocks!!

if you're going for strictly standard issue vx wheels, non irmscher etc, i love the facelift 17" omega alloys and not just cos i'm selling some  :-X

they're like an updated version of the old cavalier gsi slabs, but with some mercedes e55 AMG influence thrown at them, and they look awesome on a whole bunch of griffins. this is them stuck on a mk4 astra coupe. lovely. that subtle dished effect in the middle really is very nice.

Wooooow!! Good choice  :)

Praise to Luton/Russelsheim for interchangable parts!

Desparate to see what the new Insignia alloys look like on an Omega. I think there's some beautiful shapes, which would compliment the curves of a meega well.
