been checking ebay and gumtree lately for alloys. some corsa c sri wheels were on gumtree for 200. rang him up he said he would drop the price if they were gone today as he scrapped the car and was skint. anyways he ended up meeting me 4 mile from my house and paid £140 for x5 sri wheels :) will be fitted around febuary time will probs get them refurbed | |

because i live up north and we normally get hit pretty hard with snow etc so why keep wheels on that are immaculate to potentially damage? iv literally only just got the wheels a couple of hours ago i was always going to buy new wheelsat a later point but got some corsa c sri wheels verycheap today | |

Looked ok to start with. Not sure why you would remove the standard wheels, in favour of those horrid looking Mk2 Astra wheels though. Dosn't make sense seeing as you have sold the others. | |
