As it was actually warm and dry in Aberdeen, i gave the SR the first polish since putting it back on the road, not bad for a 24 year old vauxhall.

Here it is 2 years ago with the 3 spoke alloys, better with the original steelies or three spokes?

I may have made a bit more effort taking this photo, good job I'm not a professional!

would have started life with the steelies and trims and that is how it should stay if keeping original

A nova just looks right with them.

I cant agree mate I just hate them, I know there the proper wheels for certain models but :yuck:



teardrop wheels look smart on a sr IMO

I think it is because three spokes look so bad they are actually so good.

^ I'm liking that, not normally a fan of 3 spokes. I would go with the steelies over the sr 3 spokes though.

Quite surprised no one has mentioned speedlines yet... Weren't they also factory fitted? lollol

I would prefer the steelies with no trims over them.

The steelies on these are not the continental ones or SRi ones, they the basic steelies same as all basic 89 onwards, so they look horrible without the trims.
