i actually like ROH chicanes. you can get them made in 5x110 and they are a 3 piece rim. some nice 17x7 on the front and 17x8 on the back would look alright. i haven't seen them on an astra or vectra before either. a lot of ROH rims look average, but i think the chicanes really suit european cars

if you did see that concept on a astra or vectra it would be total RICE as they are both front wheel drive cars

take a look at the way europeans modify cars. it's exactly like that. personally I like it and I prefer you refer to it as pasta or cous cous, not rice :D

Wait a tick - so you take your car to AS for a once off, and you've got a brand spanker set of rims with rubber?


Damn, who did you brown nose to get a deal like that!?!?!
