They look a lot better, would look stunning in an anthracite colour, maybe even black.

Yeah I know what you mean and can totally see where your coming from!

I think the VXR wheels just look a bit chunky like you say.........might be better with a lower profile tyre on though!!

Prefer the Pro Race tbh.

The Astra wheels remind me of a Twin Top which hasn't had the 18" upgrade

There off my dads Astra Twin top. Think the VXR wheels are similar design but bigger. These are 17s.

Also, do we rekon i could get some Vauxhall center caps for the pro race wheels?

They look ok, would need to sort the tyres out to get a proper idea. Undecided.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm dont think I like them, they look very much an understatement on a car with a pretty bold status.

I like the standard ones tbh
