My car:



Looked for sooooooooooo long after i got the car for some 18s i wanted, bought some 2nd masitalys but didnt like the fitment, so decided i wanted to keep the snowflakes as i know they do suit the car so well!

But theres still abit of me that wants to get some 18s, i looked at these wheels before and really liked them but wasnt sure if they would suit the car, did a photoshop but was just abit chicken to bite the bullet and buy them, but when ever i think about buying 18s these are at the front of my mind!



i think the finish will work well with the silver, i have thought about Pro Race 1.2s but i think the novelty of black wheels will wear off after abit!

Whats peoples thoughts

Only one wheel for it - Vectra OPC 19"'s
They look so so so SO nice.


EDIT: These ones, not the new shape Vectra

photoshop looks poo and would look better in real life i feel!

Dont like the VXR ones nath, dunno why just dont, the vectra VXRs are lovely but to big and to wide for the astra!

if i bought the 18s then i would probably keep the snowflakes and refurb in anthracite etc or something!

What about the 18 inch 5 spokes off the newer Astra Turbos?

There was a car on ebay with them on before and looked the nuts
