i love the look of the preface lift mv6 wheel but am getting fed up with them buckling can any one recomed any oem wheels that look simlur and will fit i was looking at a saab the other day with wheels that look very much like mine will these fit ?
-
i havent buckled any on my MV6 Pre F/L wheels and WIM confirmed it!
how are you buckling them?
They need to be 5 Stud and the offset on the omega is slightly different as its RWD someone in the know will confirm the correct offset
-
its not me buckling them i think they are already buckled as they wont balence up or if they do it takes a hell of a lot of weight i have 6 or 7 and all bar two are buckled
-
Apparantly these Buckle easy!
I love my wheels (the same) but all i need to do is get them re furbed as theve just started to corrode on the front.
But i am slightly worried asto when i spend some money on them are they as easy to buckle as everyone mensions?
-
ive had my MV6 for a yr now and none of my wheels are buckled i do always avoid pot holes and i know how to park properly so never kerb them and myn arent bent
theres a recipt for a new wheel off LMF in Nov 02 for an MV6 wheel so i assume the previous owner (BT) bent one of the wheels!
the MV6 wheels can be refurbished by a compotent DIyer! Autosol and some laquer!
-
if you like those originals get them corrected by a professional..
or if you want something new, buy exactly PCD 5*110 ..

The pre facelift MV6 wheel is a soft wheel and its more common to find a buckled one than a straight one :(
-
the saab 9-3 and 9-5 wheels are a straight swap but you might have a problem with the ofsets as they're similar to the vectra's
otherwise you might find some BBS or BORBET wheels that you like (best to search for their sites on google)
HTH :y

-

In that case, you are the exception rather than the rule. These rims have a wicked reputation for being soft. I have seen more thruppeny bit rims than round ones, sadly.......

None of mine are round anymore :'(
WIM however did a fantastic job of balancing them (one took 9 attempts to get right!) and to be honest, I wouldnt know no wobble for the entire range of speed.
