Hi guys,

Cheers

EDIT: Forget the samurai's.. The OZ David's and the Enkei RAZRs below is the go I think please :)

Reference to information showing the available offsets please? :)

alloywheels.com sell Samurai wheels in 5x110 so I believed they would be available over here also.

As for the OZ Racing, I find it hard to believe at $600 per wheel that they wouldn't drill them to the PCD I want. No more expensive than the standard wheels from Holden also.

also cant find listings for 18" you dont really want 17"s do u?

UNEEQ

You're right, they don't come in 18's, so that's the Samurai out. (There's others that come in 18s and 19s I'm sure coz I looked at sizes, but I can find any evidence of an 18 for the SC08)

So that leaves the Davids, althought I am liking these now thanks Brent!!

Why dont you get something like (16x8.5 Front/16x9.5 Back)and drop it.
Just something different from ordinary 18s/19s.

because 16" looks like shit with mass sidewall :P

What Brent said, besides, it's already dropped and I scrape on haeaps of things as it stands. Any more and I'll be dragging the front lip along the ground. Don't forget I have the SRi-T/VXR kit, not the base model front bar that's good for 28 feet of lowering.

Those wheels are porn. Can't wait for the new colour he's doing on it. But they are 18" rims.

Cleaning them would be a nightmare. Can't see it working with the black though.

I have to wonder how much better the roads and driveways are there. Unless I want to spend another $500-600 redoing my new driveway I won't get my car up it if I lower the suspension any more, and I scrape very mildly coming out of my woprk car park on an angle, so definately no go on lowering further. (I can't see Wilson Parking adjusting their car park ramp to suit me, and having wooden planks in the boot to get out of the park every day isn't practical!)

This is all beside the point though, my purpose here is to see the wheels that I have found and like thus far on my car and determine if I wish to proceed further with the concept :)

Thanks Shay. I think they actually suit quite well.

Just want to see the RAZRs now in case the bank (wife) doesn't approve of costs... Keep in mind the RAZRs are either 18 or 20. there is no 19 version

I would if they were larger than 17s

these arent exactly the RAZR's but theyre fking close, and wer already on an astra (J) so it was heaps easier to chop.

Stock rims look much better, IMO.

Oz Racing Superturismo`s & Ultraleggera`s look good on the Astra as do the BBS CH.

his stock rims are rooted, and cost too much to replace.

Thanks again Shay, they look the same as the RAZRs, both look pretty decent. I'm still thinking, but the David's are probably going to be the better choice since they are graphite, not black. Plus they have that extra level of class.

the davids are a similar wheel to what i have, my dad sells those. only thing is they only come in 19x8s but they should fit fine under an ah. mine scrub a little in the rear but im getting stiffer shocks for that. but hell be able to do them for alot less than 600 a wheel and the odds of my car being next to yours would be very slim so i wouldnt mind if you had the same wheels as me

heres a pic of my car with the rims

Still procrastinating about this. Insurer does wheel repairs, so I'd be forking out all the money for the wheels and repair quote isn't really worth the $350 excess plus losing my NCB Protection.(comes to about $400 all up)

Gonna go for refurbishing first, I'll go from there :)
