I'm looking at buying some new mags for my Sri,
I was hoping to see what you guys already have on
on your cars?

So we don't all rock up to a party with the same shirt on,
if you know what I mean.

What brands?
What size rims?
What tires?

Thanks.

and has some really good info, on tires.

Niice.. How much do these go for in 17s? Advanti Stalkers aren't they?

I wouldn't mind a set in chrome for the Astra.

Hi Mate, Just something to think about, Above Donna (11-SXI) mentioned she gets no rubbing on 17 x 7.5's - Hers is the SXi, the SRi has a wider track so I had to stick with 17 x 7's, wider ones were catching on the bottom of the front extension.

Anyhow here are mine.

I've just got stock rims on at the moment. I'm about to buy a set of 18s though. I've been looking at getting Alexia Jestalt II's or Alexia Twinspokes.

Currently these:

15" Speedy Holotype-R

They're smaller than what I want, but they came brand spanking new on the car. And the insurance company likes them, so I like them - for now ;)
