Well in that case they look a damn site better than a potential off road experience & 3pts & a fine that follows

These just on for the short term until you decide on a new wheel??

I actually like it with the Astra wheels.

It looks like it just rolled out of the factory like that.

were you actually able to put the power down at all with those tyres

not keen on the astra wheels myself, prefer the pro race 1.2's.

Id keep the standards but they only fit a 175 tyre on the front. People put 195s on the 5.5j rim but it sounds a bit dodgy to me and my love of corners!

Yea i would stick wit the Pro Race's. They are a perfect compliment to the design of the car and colourwise, look much better in silver!

Go for them!

can you not find a second set or rears for the front? Or use some astra gsi 17s? they would look standard and be bigger, win win

Nope didnt try them as all the wheels have a 225/45 on them. I dont know how much or how little difference having the offset 10mm bigger would make to the handling. I suspect on the road at least its not going to be all that noticable.
