May be easier If you added the age of your car to this thread mate as the pre & facelift cars had different types.

If its prefacelift, you're knackered.  Virtually every 2nd hand one will have issues, and you cannot buy new any more...

It's a pre-facelift model.
I'm partly tempted to buy a set off ebay, keep two, then advertise them back on ebay.
Surely there's other people that would want a set of 5??

I very, very, very much doubt you will get a straight set second hand - I know, I've looked.

I have 9 prefacelift wheels, 7 are either buckled or oval

Well I have just fitted 5 new ones on mine  :P
Only messing. Got them off ebay about 18 monts ago, now i have a car I plan keeping for a while I decided to bite the bullet & boot them up. Look nice too.
Keep checking ebay as you said you would. Patience is a virtue & a goodun will surface.

The fifth is the spare for the record ;)

I asked at Vauxhall about buying new ones, like Jaime says you can't get them anymore.
The best ones I have seen are on Elite Pete's car, no wobbles either  :o
Just waiting for him to go on holiday now ;D ;D ;D
