time for some ownage   
not all cali's are 5 stud - only v6's and turbo's 
2.0 16v's are 4 stud - also, some cali's came with cav gsi slab's on
and last but not least - taken from the ebay add, note the bit i have made bold
quote:

£520 new so whats wrong with asking £225 
also, why do so many people expect wheels to come with tyres

Well would u pay that for a set of wheels that came standard on a Vauxhall 14 years ago?? 
Well alloys are pretty useless without tyres so thats why so many ppl expect them to come with tyres when buying them from a private seller.

Just depends on the owner of the cav tho.Bearing in mind these wheels came on the late spec SRI's which isnt an old mans car.Ive seen a few with 195 50s on them.
Even if they need tyres,they can be had for less than £30 a corner.

Think they use plastic bars instead of metal ones.Fitting the tyres is alot easier and dosnt do as much damage as removing the tyres.

Or even a diamond cut rim 
Seen a mate trying to remove a tyre from a £20 shitter of a wheel with a deep dish and he was struggling.Had screw drivers and metal bars in there.

Theyr not massive,stick some tyre slick on them and they arent noticable at all imo.When they are that grey used way,they stand out.
