19's look fine on a mk4 astra. Astra H wheels fit the mk4 but be aware thet the tyre sizes are different to that of the H.

The 19'' astra H wheels will fit a G as long as you are prepared to do a bit of arch work. Lots of people are running the astra H sri 18'' wheels on their G's, also lots of copies about on ebay.

There was a set in the back of TV a few months back for £600 iirc, wish I'd of bought them for the Astra SRi-T I hope to get at some point.

yeh ebay will probably be best option rather than brand new, im always worried about the wheels being buckeled though :|

so are we split between the GSI or the VXR ones above then?

are they not the 19" wheels that were on that Vectra OPC thing? The 18s for the Astra VXR are 6 spoke and the 19s are a split 5 spoke effort.

Never seen those above wheels on an Astra apart from on the Vaux website although you can buy them.

you can use 5 stud hubs and shafts to convert it. the late sri's were 5 stud, so thats no problem

VXR wheels are 18 or 19 inch depending, and the 19s will looks silly on a mk4

gsi rims are the better choice IMO


thanks rob, nah dont worry i wouldnt touch 19s, theyre crap. last time i made a thread most people said dont get gsi ones, but i think they look good

im getting a mk4 astra sri very soon :D and will more than likely want to change the alloys... was thinking of vxr or gsi wheels. im guessing the vxr ones will be 5 stud but there may be ways round that :) Vote for which you think is best.

PS. No need to slag off my ideas.. thanks :wave:
