I got them off Ebay (you'll never see another apir on there). you can by them direct from Vauxhall (You need the ET49 version not ET42 and expect to pay over £550 for them without tyres. You do get free locking nuts though!

You can also buy them from Leicestershire Motor Factors too no doubt - as they sell all Irmscher stuff cheaper than Vaux.

They look very nice mate!

I found some 2nd hand about a over a year ago but they were at the opposite end of the country and my bloody parents wouldnt let me drive to pick them up

I wish I could afford these alloys.

I emailed LMF a while back asking for a quote and it weren't much less than vauxhall. I asked for the 6x16 ones but they quoted me the 6.5x16 for some reason.

Keep up the good work.

You probably did shop them for my Icy. I've wanted them for ages!

Cost me £165 off of Ebay, 2 needed refurbing. Vauxhall.co.uk quote £575 for them new! I saved about £300 off of new, all look new, perfect offset and nice curvy alloys for a curvy corsa.

It is a 5dr. the alloys are 6 inches wide, the tyre sits slightly out from the rim itself which is a little comfort factor, but the Toyo "Rim protection" remains to be tested to see if does anything or not. Hopefully my new paranoia will stop early kerbing!

They're ET49 and go into the arches missing the arch trim nicely - its down 30mm but looks ok at the back I think. No scrubbing so far but haven't driven it fully loaded yet.

they don't stick out from the sides - they sit nice and snug

Thanks for the comments! glad you like them!

Oh by the way, got the tracking donw this morning - 20 mins. cost me £23.95 from Kwik-Fit after a free inspection, you pay for the work if you need it doing. My tracking was 3mm out.

Seems to be better now its done, but can't help noticing it goes 'to the left' by default now when before it stayed stright. hmm
