picked them up today to go for a refurb for someone. i havent seen them in years. they were always on loads of cars. pre-dating the cav slab trend by a decade or more. i bought some for my nova sr years and years ago.

theyre from a mk1 astra gte someone is restoring. my work is sending them away for a refurb.

suited the style of the cars back them really well. things back then wernt exactly rounded and smoothed. 14" alloys were quite a big deal.

i want to buy a mk1 astra gte.

Tbh they look rather cool on a the right car. Wouldn't work on something modern but cool as fuck on a decked nova (maybe with a bit of the rat going on).
