Getting new 18" for my Astra, but having a hard time finding alot that will fit the 5 stud pattern.
I'm after black deep dish or just standard black.

Any suggestions??

Depends on the colour of the car.
My 18's are silver with a chrome lip and my car is silver. subtle.

Wheels are a personal choice. Find what you like. There are plenty of options out there. Lots of aftermarket wheels are made as blanks so they can be drilled to any stud pattern.

I've been to the local tyre store and it was a long difficult visit haha I know what I like just to find them to fit.... :/
My cars silver but I'm wanting to go black and silver no chrome. Slightly evil looking :)

I went through about three sets of wheels with my Astra, sadly it comes down to the fact if the person at the tyre shop can be bothered looking for some that suit. I'm still waiting for a callback from one place =/

TBH it'd be easier if you just looked yourself, it may take a while, but you'll know exactly what you're getting.
5 x 110 stud pattern suited Saabs, some Volvos, some Mercedes' and Opel/Vauxhall.
Good luck! I found mine off ebay from Sydney

If I were you I'd stick to factory wheels rather than aftermarket rims. You could probably pick up a set of AH SRi-T rims off someone here in the forum and then just get them painted black. Good luck

Why do you think factory wheels are better?

They're generally lighter, plus you know that the offset and stud pattern is correct.
Lighter meaning faster and more fuel economic. Puts less stress on your transmission/engine too:)
