Declaration Hey guys this may seem like a stupid question but is there a way to tell if vx alloy's are replica or factory fitted and what's the difference?
Matt I has my wheels off to clean them before PVS, and there is the GM part number and a few other bits stamped on the back of the spokes
rushy Copys usually come is different sizes, like VXR multispoke wheels are 19 inch but the copys are 18inch, same with the Insignia VXR alloys. VXR snowflakes are 6 spoke and 18 inch and VX upgrade snowflakes are 19 inch but TBH I've never really seen copy's of these just similar rims like Ford ones. What rims are you talking about?

Declaration yes I was just trying to get a feel for the current market, the seller assures me they are genuine vx as they came off a zafira but maybe he is getting mixed up himself with replicas, anyhows he is asking for £480 for them, I could get a set of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-VAUXHALLVECTRA-01-09-VXR-INSIGNIA-GUNMETAL-POL-ALLOYS-/251301967369?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item3a82c3b609 for £360 minus the tyres obviously
