Title: Advice on which wheels look best.
Post by: mantaray on 29 April 2017, 10:04:00
Picked up a set of wheels from Omegod the other week, I have now fitted them to the car, but can't deceid if they suit the car.

Which do you think look the best ?

Does it really matter what we think? These kind of things are very personal, no doubt you will get mixed views. 

But I also prefer the standard CDX ones.  :)

I'm not a fan of Black Alloys, so going to have to say the top ones, but if the blacks where silver....

The wheels that look best are the ones you think look best.

I personally prefer the silver ones.


Remember, if using non standard alloys, you MUST inform your insurance :y

If you're going to mess around with after market alloys, buy a Citroen saxo. The top ones look better, imo.

Personal preference of course but I'd stick with the standard ones[although I think the 17" Elite ones look better still.Having said that if I put a set of wheels on my car that I thought looked good and suited it I wouldn't give a monkey's what anyone else thought!

Neither if them. I used to have 17" original opel from a later model(i think they were insignia ones) with 235/45 front and 245/45 rear and they filled up the wheelwell nicely. I just added a 20mm spacer in the back so they came out better in the back. They made the car looking 10y younger. And being original wheels overhere it gave me more in return when i sold my caravan.

Wouldn't have been Insignia Wheels... They won't fit without changing the hubs... Totally different pcd ;)

Well most of you on here seem to like the original wheels.

There are 2 reasons why I have been looking at the Oz wheels:

1.  I picked them up cheap.
2.  My son and a few others have commented that it looks like an old man's car, or as a Scottish friend put it "fur flat cap und awe pip" ;D

1. Poor defence, oft used to limit fall out from 'er indoors.
2. It's an Omega... ::)

Happy to help...

Well said young man  :y

I'm really not keen on anything that wasn't standard fit/optional. All IMHO of course .....

Then opel sells aftermarket wheels on new cars? The wheels came from the boss' wife's car and were swapped for 18" right after it was delivered.

Possibly from a very late Zafira B/Meriva Bthen... Anything else wouldn't fit.

For me the top ones. I am boring though and prefer original  :y

Top wheels WOULD look the best if they were more grey.

Top standard silver, no question

Bottom blacks look just chavy

 . . . .  well in my incredibly humble opinion   ::)
