Does vauxhall make any nice looking 14" alloy wheels? I need a set for MOT and for making my car look less nickable at uni, must be 14" to fit over the brakes and so i can have some fat tyres (try a get some ride comfort backlol )

I know this sounds lazy but i've been looking for ages

cheers:thumb:

Cav steelies from earlier Cavs (with the bigger holes) look alright and you can pick up a set from the scrapyard for about 30 quid from scrapyards round here, usually with tyres which will not be a desirable size, but will be alright to drive on.

These have been blatted over with a bit of satin black. I'm studying at uni too so I've got these to a, keep the cost down and b, to kerb while doing Chinese delivery without the guilt!! Total outlay: ?36.29

Vaux made some 14" softstar wheels for the Tigra iirc, but these might be harder to find in breakers yards etc.
