    Default alloys

    Right,Im now looking for alloys at the mo,does anyone know where I can get some good condition white astra GTE alloys?-the 14" ones?-whats your views on these?-I think they could look good contrasting against my carmine red paintwork and if I got some thin vinyl graphics(sad eh?) made up for them saying something like opel racing or something similar,they might be acceptable?-otherwise Im considering some late cavalier CD alloys,the slanty 14" 5 spoked affairs,not the late SRi curly 5spoke affairs,let us know if Ive lost the plot ok?

    I like those Astra alloys m8.
    I'd do without the centre caps though - I think they can look like wheel trims with the caps on!
    With the caps off, you can see the bolts, and they look motor motor-sport style. (have I lost it? )

    Take a look in the picture gallery and feature cars sections - there's a couple in there with these alloys on

    Ive seen them with these alloys, I will have them in white if they are cheap enough, as Im building a budget nova,just to show my mates what you can do for peanuts,its coming along nicely at the mo.I did have the same front bumper config as u,the late mk1 bumper with early SR valance at the front, and I also have this rare grille with recessed fogs,I cannot decide if I like it or not at the moment

    I used to have white GTE wheels on my astra and they looked great when it was first washed but a few miles down the road they were covered in brake dust........bear it in mind

    hmmmm,not sure wot to do about the alloys now, the thing that inspired me was theres a mk2 whitey cruisin round lincoln with vauxhall graphiv sunstrip and these alloys with no centre caps on, I have only just realised wot the alloys are off of, and thought that it might make mine look a little more like a rally slag-mobile
