Nicest old school vauxhall wheels were the Speedline allesios. Courtney used to fit them on their cars.

another one was the Revolution RFX. used to have these on an astra GTE.

[Guest]

the Revolution RFX are a good looking wheel, Schmidt do a sexy copy of it

i would love a set of the Schmidts but as they cost about £1600 may be a while 

[chris66]

£1600 quid!! :o

I paid less than that for my 22inch Kahn's on my Shogun!!

doesn't half bring back some memories seeing them though. proper 80's stuff.

makes you want too dig out your Wham Cd's.

i would imagine its so you can let a woman drive and park your car without sh*tting yourself when she parks it next to a kerb  ;D ;D ;D

[chris66]

Beats buying tyres though. the're so expensive these day's. wouldn't it affect the handling a bit? ;D

[Frisco]

Kahns are not even in the same league as Schmidts. £1600 is cheap for a set of 3 piece wheels made to order.

Id love a set of these

But at €640 a wheel they are just a bit expensive. (not ruled them out though)

Also love these

[chris66]

The bottom, flat dish ones would look amazin on a cleaned up standard car.

[Frisco]

Or a smoothed out one ;D

[chris66]

Or a smoothed out one ;D

Euro, lowered, flat colour, no rubbing strips, bumpers smoothed.....mmmm....

i've just realised! i'm too old for this. lol

[Guest]

anything to do with (genuine) split rims is expensive i did start to work out how much i have spent on mine but had to stop as it was getting scary  

[chris66]

set of fox wheels, cut the heads off 24 m6 cap screws, stick them on with some high quality superglue and your sorted! split rim looks for £1.50.

i should get a job on blue peter!

That link led me to this link:

Love the bit throwing them around etc.. hahah my ronals defo wouldn't take that abuse! Nice to have something to aspire to though!

[chris66]

Just goes to show.. you get what you pay for. if i did that with my Khans, they'd be like 50p pieces

ive just sold my set today as they were 8x17 et35 and wouldnt fit the cav unless it was 30mm or less lowered.

i thought these were mine!

but mine wernt white.

i do like those wheels though and think that they really suit the mk3 cav as the touring car look.

[stevecav]

ferrari wheels will look stupid on a mk2 cavalier and if you get them to fit the handling will be shite and will tramline all over the place. stick with the porsche rims they look good and coupled with the wheel adaptors give quite a good offset. there seems to be a lot of cars these days wearing the porsche rims,have seen seat ibizas,skoda fabia rs, vw golf etc.

[davedave]

Ferrari wheels are a straight fit on 5 stud vauxhall pattern even the center bore works Ferrari is 67mm vauxhall 65mm

the offset is 50mm vauxhall is 49mm so is as perfect your going to get.

i like the old skool look but its still not the perfect wheel for me.

the porsche rims only fit as im using 4 stud adaptors but dont have 5 stud adaptors and dont want to spend £250 on some.

im looking at possibly fitting the shark amg wheel, although its an ultra modern wheel on a old stlye car i think they suit it.

and i really like the wheel, only trouble is id need some bigger brakes and some fancy ali calipers so it would look a bit better than the little v6 front and rear brakes i have got to make the wheels look right.

[stevecav]

nice rims seen a set fitted on an astra vxr recently

[chris66]

AMG wheels are gorgeous. flat fronted so they'll really suit the car.

[jimmycav]

[davedave]

i really like bobet A but not sure if they suit the beige colour

i really like tsw holsten ans was thinking about a set of bentley wheels.
