Got CRX's on the locost,

Was thinking of going with black wheels as the cars black and de-chromed but don't think they do them in 18"- 19" would be to expensive for the tintop anyway!

depending on budget, and if you want normal or different, the astra is available in America and the alloys are cheap, cheap, then contact a local American car shipper to bring the wheels in for you, my 18's for the kit cast me with shipping+duty and vat a total just over £400 not bad for 18x10's and 18x9's, worth a look. ebay.com

is the astra 4 or 5 stud wheels

The wheels are 5 stud never thought of America will have a look.

17's are small don't you know big is best seriously its on standard sri 17's now the factory option was 18's or 19's so it has to be 18's minimum or its not an upgrade!

with the $ take about a 3rd off for the £ its not quite that at the moment but it will get u close, so $600=£400, they got some nice 20's in the 5x110 bolt pattern (think thats what yours will be)


locoR1 - 26/6/10 at 09:14 PM

Yup it is 5x110, Even i think 20's would be to big anyway the rims would be reasonable but im not remortgaging the house to buy the tyres
