I was just wanted some info on the wheels that the newer style vauxhalls come with when they arrive on the lorry from the factory (or at least that's what I assume them to be 'delivery wheels')
There have been occasions that I have seen brand spanking new Vauxhall's, like Zafira's and Astra's, coming off the truck or just rolling into the showroom with these gloss black, 5 spoke rims fitted.
I'm just wondering if they have a name, what offset they are, 4/5 stud availability etc?
Thanks :thumb:

They are the wheels that they clip on those wheeltrims that look like alloys
Check Astra Mk5 Club models and Zafira Club models etc
I've often wondered that too, only ever seen 1 zafira on the road with them on, i presume their not strong enough for general road use?

KSRY - They can be used for road, as Vaughan said they are meant for the alloy look-a-like wheel trims. They go over these rims and becasue they are a spoke design they don't obstrust the trim from behind making the trims look like rims. If you get me lol That's what I've understood anyway.

ive seen a good few vectras with what you may think are alloys but they are wheel trims on a 5 spoke steel wheel lol

Yeah them ones. So they are 5 stud I'm assuming 16''. Anyone know what offset?
Thanks
They're a good idea when you just want 'the look' IMO. Much much cheaper to produce.
ive dealt with them at work and wanted to look into 4stud versions, et is 39 iirc. i think there pretty cool tbf.
Have some for yourself then mate ;)
