I just got this set of wheels, They came from Germany on an Opel Astra SRi 2.0 Turbo DI... They are OEM wheels with the exact same pattern offset and hub diameter as the Catera wheels the only difference being the extra in in diameter.
The Astra with SPORT wheels 17s... pretty nice ehhh!?

The wheels installed on my Catera:
I know the tires are a little too small and it acutally looks kinda funny and in fact the wheels look pretty damn small on there but o well... I guess new tires are on the way for the next summer... i got to try to wear these suckers down before I get new ones.

To be honest something doesnt look right the way it sits I gues the tires are too skinny so... maybe I should take em off and put on the old sport rims with my 245/45 17s on there what do you guys think? Either that or I go shopping for a 245 40 18 tire...

Nice set of wheels, but you would have been better getting 18'' wheels :y...I have 235/40 -18's on my rims.
-
a fuller wheel, like the elite, looks good as a 17 with correct size tyres, but a sportier wheel with more gap in it looks better bigger, but they do look pretty good on the omega, and the elite's look good on the astra coupe!!
-
Nice wheels! I'd consider fitting your old tires to this rims. Just to see how do they look with right tires.
Personally i like these rims:

its Azev A design. But i thin that particularly these are too wide for me.

I used to work for a tyre company, you need to stick to a set pattern with sizes and widths, or the speedo will read wrong, the mpg will be wrong!!
Vauxhall Omega:
15" 195/65/15
16" 225/55/16
17" 225/50/17
18" 225/45/18
19" 245/35/19
These are the correct tyre sizes for the car, by manufactures, the sppedo will be as it shouls with these, any others, and it will differ, Would not want to go past a gatso thinking you are doing 70mph, when you are doing 80mph.

Well I am looking at a possible KW full coil over set up with high and stiffness adjustability but thats only 1300$ shipping not included from Germany...
She doesn't sit too bad but she needs bigger tires and some ground clearance package...

Not 100% sure about this? 17" factory fit omega wheels/tyres old & new are 235/45/17 . The charts on such online tyre sites are rarely correct. I think the 18 inchers have a wider profile also.
