Looks really good, as said it would look even nicer with a small drop, i was going to ask if the OE wheels were steels with trims but i can see the stick on wheel weights which wouldnt be on with steels lol

As for the drop i cant afford too as i carry 100-150kg's of gear over rough terrain nigh on everyday!

Fitted to the Vectra C some weird offset :thumb: The bodyshop lent me one many moons ago when I had them repaint a wheel on my Vectra B GSi

Look good. OE wheels will never set the world alight but they suit it dont rub I dare say.

We had some 19's in the living room this morning...
