Senator wheels. Carlton wheels are similar but different. (http://i10.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/bd/94/c496_2.JPG)

OR......its had damage to the wheels and buckled some of them and the owner decided he wasnt going to pay for new mv6 alloys and got hold of a set of senator wheels on the cheap  :-/ :-/ If the case makes you wonder what else isnt quite straight underneath  :-X

some early Elites were fitted with these wheels, personally i think they look nice, however the issues raised here about size etc are correct

 Definitely Senator wheels and if fitted with the correct speed rated 205/65-15 tyres as fitted to the 24V Senator's then i can't see a problem, imho :y

There not as wide.....so not to original manufacturers spec which raises insurance questions...

Never fitted as standard to any Omega, not even the early 94 Elites, I just checked.

I prefered the Carlton GSi alloys......or the later facelift CDx, MV6 or Elite alloys.
