Are you going to be sticking with the standard 16" wheels?

I'm hoping to upgrade the wheels. I've a set of front 5 stud hubs and knuckles in the shed but may stick with the 4 stud fitment. It's just finding a bargain set now really, if you know of any 😉.

Matt

Nice one, don't know of any bargains at the minute, but a nice set of 17" snowflakes would really suit it.

Dave_One

I'd love a set of 17" snowflakes, they really suit Mk4 hatches :cool:

milo

smallest set of snowflakes I've came across is 18's that are smithy van. Never came across set of 17's

Don't think I've seen many 5 doors with them fitted either.

I actually really like the Vectra C pre-facelift 17's fitted to the MK4.

The Astra GSI has 17" snowflakes fitted (the original snowflake wheel 😉)

aaww ffs lol

I've got to admit, straight after Matt mentioned the Snowflakes (btw Matt - they're the ones I meant too 🙂), I did eBay search Vec C Twin Spokes. They're certainly a completely acceptable alternative 🙂. So who's got a cheap set of either for me then, lol 😃.

Tbh I always new snowflake wheels as being the gsi 17s which are actually snowflake shape I always thought mine where the first mk5 vxr wheels but everyone calls them snowflakes these are the real snowflakes

You can get my style wheel in a 17in there on the merivas

milo

First time I herd the term 'Snow Flake alloys' are the 19's you got on the Vectra C's.

milo

I'm not a fan of the Vec C sri alloys and I had a vectra c sri lol

5M1THY

19s are easy to get hold of too I've been looking for 1x 18in and there no where unless I want to pay £200

Dave_One

Yep, they're the ones 5M1THY, that's what I understand to be the GSi wheels and the original snowflakes 🙂. Either them or the Vec C Twin Spokes that Matt has pictured would be the dogs danglies 😃.

OMG :eek: - too much for me....

milo

if your going down the 5 stud option Dave, I've seen a couple of Mk4's with these Vauxhall alloys and they do look nice

I think if I had your astra dave I think these look the best on a 5 door astra and u can see how nice these look. Plus loads on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-astra-Sri-alloy-wheel-17-/191063895072?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item2c7c4bac20 Nice cheap option 🙂

Dave_One

Too many options, lol.

I like them too... What are they off? Mk5 SRi?

milo

Yeah bud

Matt

The MK5 Sri wheels look really good as well. I'm still a big fan of the Vectra C wheels, and I had them on my SRI Vectra 🙂
