If you like them ... great .... :y :y

Personally ... not for me , I like the more understated approach of Irmscher Sportstars ... but can't afford them   :'( :'( :'(

 ;D ;D ;D

Sorry me not into them either, maybe on a saloon or a vectra but not the estate, they look a bit small aswell like the tires are the wrong size for the car.

I think the 16inch elite wheels look great on silver estates, ant not expensive either.

cheers

The wheels are 17"s, they appear smaller than they are, in an ideal world id like a set of facelift elite alloys or 19" snowflakes but it aint gonna happen , so i will have to make do for now :y

I'm an old man with old tastes but those wheels made my 22 year old son go nuts. He says they looks tribal. He's talking about printing the picture and taking it to his tattoo guy. He thinks it would look great on his shoulder. He also said that if the car had custom paint with tribal accents those wheels would be perfect.

I hold you responsible for my son adding to the desecration of his body. At least he hasn't poked holes in himself................yet.

Those wheels look like a cross between a daisy and a Kling-On throwing star.

I've got a set of Facelift Elite Alloys for sale if you're interested.
