i was also thinking of a set of them 6 spoke 18" snowflake type wheels that came on earlier astra vxr's they could look quite good. i dont want anything too big as use the vectra to tow stuff.

arent all the vxr range 18" and 19"? best be imo is the 17" gsi vec ones. its the only way to go


these would look cool aswell 19's though.

Like the vectra big fella, the corsa looks very agresive with that huge intercooler growling at the front lol.

You really need to take me a spin in it one day so that I can say that i've been in a big bhp corsa.

both cars look good mate, had those 18" vxr replicas on my old GSI. and they just didnt look right IMO,

the wheel was too skinny to resemble the proper ones!

BIG ECK - did i see you on the m8 yesterday cutting off at george square cut off?
