There's often questions on here along the lines of 'what do you think this/these would look like on my car' and generally the final answer is the same-

It's your car, if everyone on this forum thinks you look a twerp, but you think it looks good, then go for it! Ultimately, your own opinion is always the best!

My twopenneth, personally is VXR wheels from an Astra/ Vectra look amazing on Omegas :-)

yes indeed your right, im pretty cautious when it comes to alloys, i had an arden blue zaffy gsi before and bought a new set of vxr`s for that and it looked awesome imo. i do think alloys would have to be fairly strong and well moulded for a car like the omega?? lol  ;)

Ohhh, very beautiful.

Zafira GSi's one of those cars that people could criticise as a compromise (of you want an sports car, then buy on etc..) but they really are amazing handers and utterly underrated, aren't they? And by the way, the alloys look stunning on that! Are they the 19s you could have as an option over the standard 18s on the Astra VXR?

yes they were the 19inch bud, the zaffy gsi is indeed a very capable car/mpv/estate , mine was sent to thorney motorsport for a stage 4 plus a miltek full system, after a rolling road it produced 278bhp at the wheels which is quite impressive by any standard. miss it dearly now to be honest but much prefer the drive of the omega,it suits me better.  :y

Praise indeed that you prefer the Omega. Not bad considering (and this is scary) that we're talking about a car that was designed and being tested back in 1989!

The best looking wheel on the Omega is the 19" snowflake IMO.. But don't come cheap.
