Hi, I can't remember but I what a set of Steels for my 92 Merit+, and the thing is, did sting's and SXI's have 13" charcoal steels and the SR's have 14"? Just can't remember, pity I was in a Vauxhall garage about 5 year ago and they were selling new sets for £80 !! Anyone know were I can get any NOS ones?
Thanks.

sx(later to become the sxi)/sri had the grey 14s according to the '92 brochure. Sting isnt listed.

Thanks for the help guys, going to call back at the garage that had them years back as I spoke to a parts guys and he though they still might have some? Would like to get a new set for the car. Wonder if theres a paint code available for the rims?

I had a pair (that sold a while back) that were slightly different shades of grey. So you may find different years/batches are different colours anyway.

I may be way off but something tells me some early mk3 astras came with them too.

I've actually seen a few S reg mk3 Astra's around here with them.
