the alloys are ok, but i fancy a change, i really wanna get hold of the wheels from the newer SRI (5 spoke fan blades) in My opinion they are alot better, its just a shame Vauxhall have had em on back order for 3 months :!

Ned

As Chris said it comes down to personal preference at the end of the day.

The only think I can think of that might help you it too take a pic of you car and then open it in photoshop and keeping putting alloys on it untill you find the ones you like
