I think they will look mate

If Wolf race wheels are good enough for Flat Eric & i'm sure they will be good enough for you

Get em on & keep away from the kerbs !!

was thinking about getting mine refurbed (they defo need it, previous owner liked kerbs more than me!! lol) but think all black would look to dull and JP's cant do the red line, or they couldnt when i asked them to put a white line on my black wheels on my scoob.

want something nice on the astra but dont want it to look like a chav car.

lepsons all the way spally. they'll do 2 colour for you. won't be patchy on the insides either.



colourwise you could go for a dark chrome grey or just a darker silver would look good. you've got the vxr wheels and they really suit the car imo.

I'd be tempted to go black spokes and a graphite/anthracite rim

like the look of the colouring of that wheel Matt. Just need to think how a colour scheme like that would work on my wheels.

the thing with my astra wheels is the spokes sort of stick out when going round so it does look kinda neat with silver spokes.

Paul if you go into Leigh Tyres, Steve will put them on the car for you so you'll really know if they suit
