Ever so easy to overtyre a car, and screw the handling. Big isn't always better ;)

You cant really overtyre an omega there just isnt room...your restricted in the front by the shock struts and at the back you can only fit 9 or 10" rims in there which isnt big for the size of car...

If you can lay you hands on some 18"Irmscher Sportstars
With E30 offset their the ones that were designed for the Omega
I think there are E39 offset's around these I believe are for Vectra
IMHO Sportstars just look so right on Omega :y

There is'nt anything wrong with the wheels on there at the moment, i love them, plus ive just had them re-furbished lol, but i want my car to be stanced by the summer and to do that i need to up my game and change the wheels, i would still keep the original wheels for the winter tho  :y :y

Im thinking if i run at an offset of ET 15 or something around that area on 8J front and 9j rear on stretched tyres, it should look pretty good for the shows :P

From facelift CD spec, to Elite old and new styles, lots to choose from. Very, very few after market alloys look good
