Personally don't like either...and they're REALLY expensive! I'm reckoning crap quality also.

Insurance implications are possible. Stick with vauxhall rims, just a nicer design, the Astra/Vectra VXR wheels will look the mutts  :y (i'll post a link in general chat to an MV6 on ebay atm.)

Sorry , think the VXR rims everyone raves about are too delicate looking for a Meggy. AND everyones doing that !

As for expensive ?? Vauxhall wheel prices ?

All the used ones go for as much as new ones from others.

Ey, no, don't get me wrong, i'm all for personalising! It's what makes the world go round!

Though I think the thing to do would be to take a picture 'side on' of yuor car and ask one of the 'artists' on the forums to photoshop the potential wheels against your car.  :y

end of the day its your money i like what youve shown but its personal choice the only thing that i would take on board is that a big wheel with a lot of fresh air behind it may not suite the look your after unless you also fit bigger brakes as well

That's what I thought everyone who responded was doing. To be honest, I thought that they both looked bloody horrible but wasn't sure that was the opinion he wanted to hear.  ;)

Put your dummy back in mate and dont take it to heart. Everyone will wanna look when they're on. I converted my Elite TD auto to a stick shift - against what everyone thought... I get an extra 5mpg now, feels much faster too.

Just remember, everyones view and opinions are different on here.  :y

There are insurance implications, you hould check with your current insurers first, as I was about to change to directline, then could'nt due to the no change on wheels/rims, so had to remain with existing company with all mods notified. :y

errrr, please can i draw you attention to these......

opinon/advice

In my idea Size 18 must be the max..

also second link B is better...Omega is not nice with wheels that show the inner brake structure..More closed models are better I think..

Also be carefull for 5*110 otherwise you will have balance problems..

personally i would go with neither....

they have too much gap between the spokes, this is great if you want to show off a nice big brake conversion with alloy 4 pots etc, but standard calipers with smallish looking disks (compared to the wheel anyway) will look a bit naff.

just my opinion

you asked and we gave our view........

A word there ....... on the facelift 265/19 needs arch mods .... not sure on earlier megs but might be worth a check.  

19s with 235/35 are closest to the standard 17s + 235/45  rolling diameter so I think thats the way to go.
