Nah - You can get them in 4 stud and they look mint. There is a pic of my mates silk violet GSI with them fitted in the old school gallery! one of Jules's pics on there.
They are pretty rare though, only the very early vectra 1.8's came with them, you can still find em though.

They do look good, I've got a pic of my mates with them fitted, and no rear springs (just for a laugh) Looked superb.
I like the look of those anthracite rims Dan!

that old school thread is like 13 pages long and there aint no way im goin thru all that :(

is there any pics of that red car side on? cant see the wheels too well in the shots there cos they're black

i was thinking about the 16" 5-stud ones tbh but i need to look into a 5 stud conversion first - im sure the 4-stud ones are only 15" right??

any more pics would be great - might have a go at photoshopping my car later to see what it looks like :)

Ive got 5 stud wheels on one of my novas, pop over to roybacer (i dont get on NL much these days) and ask me if there is anything you need to know.


Ive got the super touring ones though:

The 4 stud vectra wheels are 16", here's the picture Mart was on about.

I nearly went for a set of those!!

How sad is this!! They are off a Vectra SRi 120 6Jx16 et49 4 Stud Part Nos. 9117866 priced at ?108 each + VAT!!

How about these.. saw them on a MK4 Astra while on holiday, the guy who owned the car ran the bar we drank in...

They are 6Jx16et 49 (he even had the spare as the same!) 4 stud!!

Ive had a look on EPC but can't find them... Ive only ever seen them over here in 7.5x17... I really liked them and wanted those instead of what i have on now (Astra Elegance 10 spokes) so when i saw these on holiday i was abit miffed.. here they are!
