Following on from an earlier thread, a mate of mine sent me a link to some nice 5 spoke alloys (which I have always liked)

They are not Vauxhall alloys and I imagine some people will constantly remind me of this but ah well at the price I got them I believe it's a good-un!

Click me!

I should be getting them next week at some point, can anyone tell me if I can use my original bolts/nuts on these?

Thanks

you need 195 width tyres though as 205's will scrub.

Cavalier wheels go for like £150, not much less than the price of a Cav!

He likes these and £108 for a set of wheels you really like, is a bargain.

I am not sure what offset they are thats the problem!!!!!!! I was just speaking to James about this... If they are the right offset then I will be happy with that for now... I will have to get smaller tyres at another point!

However if they are the wrong offset then I guess I will have to sell!

Bloody female Ebayers!!!!

Just picked up the alloys tonight, was pretty impressed with the condition of them apart from one which is slightly scratched (will hopefully get it fixed)...

I have found out that they are ET42 and should just be good

I am getting them fitted tomorrow evening!! I will put some pics up @ some point!

Cheers James, I have got the alloys fitted now and I really do like them!

They have barely rubbed at all tonight apart from when I was driving through some lanes at about 60+ (over some small bumps) and it would rub on the back a bit!

I think you're right in that I do need to get the arches trimmed back any recommendations on how to ?

Thanks
