Post by: smartrs on 19 March 2009, 21:08:03

am i right in thinking that all 5 spoke alloy wheels have the same stud pattern just need to watch the off set ??

No, sorry, even if the stud pattern is the same, the bore could be different. What do you intend doing?  ::)

i was just looking through ebay for some alloys but there dont seem to be many listed for omegas but loads just listed with stud patten and off set so was just wondering what do i need to be looking out for ?

Right, you will need the correct PCD Pitch Circle Diameter, most Vauxhalls will fit but you may have to correct the offset. There are quite a few Omega alloys about, try MarkeyMark or Loo Knee.
Also let people know where you are, and put up a wanted ad in "Parts for sale" section.

im the same as you as they are a PITA to line up especially as the miggy doesnt have studs to line up on, but with choice being as limited as it is its another option.
