I just picked these up from a local guy who had them on his saab, they are 17x8 with 235 Conti Rubber... so far I really like them, they are lighter then the 18s and the rubber sticks nicely to the road...
What do you guys think? I plan on throwing some winter tires on these and using them as a winter wheel set!...
At first the car looked awkward to me and now the more I look at them the more they remind me of a Porsche and a racing wheel!

Just for reference this is what the car looked like before with the 18s...

they're really nice actually! I say actually, cos i've never seen that style on something like an omega/catera
we have an alloy over here made by BBS that's identical to those and found more commonly (too commonly actually) on VW Golf (Rabbit in US i think) made between 84-98 :y
-
does stand better on the 18's but the styling of them 17's is great :)
-
nice one!!- i like it better on the new wheels- trick :y
-
I like them as well but I think my next mod will be some lowering springs all around and that will set the car off real nice...

Loving the deepdish look, but I think the 18" suit the car better :)

Would have to agree. :)

I'm not a huge fan of facelift migs or low profile tyres/rims but i think you've got the overall "LOOK" of the car right. It works.
Peachy Mig!!!!!!!!!!! 8-)

I like the look of the 17s. They suit the car and the colour well. Then again, the 18s have more presence though.
BTW - when was the last time you had your alignment checked? The fronts look like they have too much camber...?

I am probalby 2-3mi away from the plant, the parking lot that I took the pictures at was right behind the test track!
Seemed like a neat place to take pictures, and the lot had no cars on it so it worked out great... ::)
Are you or have you worked around here? :P

Alignment was done a few months ago, the car was set at I think 1.2°Front and 2.25°Rear, the guy said it was within specs... think his machine said normal was from 0.5-1.5Front and rear was 1.5-2.5, I know it wears tires much faster that way but it sticks to corners and I like it... its hard to drift it thou, seems like too much grip almost...
I will get the spec sheet on here...

My personal preference is the 18", but it's your car & it's what you like :y
