Title: Wheel i.d?
Post by: omegod on 15 October 2013, 15:36:48
Howdy,

Been offered a set of these 17" wheels, what are they off and what are they normally worth??

Vectra C, looks like they are from "Elegance" model?

Very similar to late Omega Elite...(mine here, loaded up with tiles)

Indeed, £50 tops I'd say. I paid £100 for set of CD alloys with 6mm Kumo 31's and £130 for set of CD's with almost new Winter Sport 3D's on them.

Those Vectra wheels are seven spoke, rather than six ::)

Also the offset will be different to the Omega ones, as they're intended for wwd :y

The ET will be wrong on vectra wheels. Risk of tyre rubbing shock issues.

Tunnie I hope your self levelling kicked in after that shot was taken?

I think S/L shocks will be going back on at some point, at the time these shocks were spare  :)
