Title: The New MV6 alloys???
Post by: Phil on 08 January 2009, 09:14:10
As most people will agree the pre-facelift MV6 alloys are the best looking wheels on an Omega.

Well i 'think' there is a new alternative:-

Or a slightly 'squarer' version:-

Only thing is they 'might' only be 4 stud.

Wonder what the PCD etc is, shame the Fart website is so crap for information!!

Yer Phil

Was just thinking the same thing when seeing them on the ad a few days ago. If they are 17" and 5 studs would like great i think and the next best things to the good looking per facelift mv6 ones.  :y :y.

Well spotted man

Prefacelift MV6 alloys in my opinion are the best the facelift ones are too understated!

with exception to the VXR alloys i reckon the prefacelift ones are the best VX ever did!

After having Italian cars in the past they'll probably be a funny offset, both Alfa and Fiat were a bitch to get new alloys for. In the end I had to go with some oem ones

You just need to accessorise with henchmen toting tommy guns and you've got yourself a mafia car

I prefer the Facelift MV6 wheels on a Facelift but do l love the Pre-Facelift MV6 wheels on a Pre-Facelift. If you get what I mean.

Thought I'd mix it up a bit though!!  :D

17" Ones
(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x266/richardirv/IMAG0290PuntoArbarthWheels17.jpg)

& 18" Ones

I like them, I prefer them to the originals, as they dish inwards slighty.

I think the Omega, being a big car, needs alloys with presence, the facelift ones look like a faced off peice of billet, suitably heavy looking for the car.

I think the angularity of the design like the VXR ones, helps the car 'muscle' up a little.  Alternatively 10 or 15 multispoke wheels work really well on it again because they make the car look longer and sharper.

Ok, i'll get off my design box now.
