    Here is the Delima !

    FRONT: BSA 291's SIZE:17x7.5 PCD:5/110 ET:45 PERFECT FITMENT FOR AN ASTRA G (can someone varify this. i belive it is)

    REAR: CSA Tuners SIZE:17x7 PCD:5/110 ET:45

    just quietly iam leaning towards the BSA's. But then i dont know on the finish. Silver or Chrome. i would like chrome but ive herd it can flake off and is common with the 291's :\ Anyone experienced this ?

    I prefer the BSA's, they are a great looking wheel. But they are more common than the CSA's, but maybe that's because they are nicer? Between those 2 I would go for the BSA's.

    I would go the silver or even shadow chrome if you can get it. Chrome to me looks plasticy, unless they are really good quality ones...

    I had BSA 225's on my lancer.. and found that the chrome flaked a bit on the spokes... Its your choice... with chrome rims, you can always get them rechromed... but yeh your choice

    The ones on the front, they are very nice and low key. I think the ones on the rear are too flashy and don't add to the car.

    Deff the front

    The BSA's are the nicer design, however they are very common.

    BSA's on the front look much classier and neater.

    Those CSA's look very good on a Calibra, I've tried a set of 18's on mine, very nice !

    They are common, (ie: the BSA's) but not so much in silver, every second man and his dog's got em in chrome - go for them in silver, looks much classier and neater and not as hoony or ricey compared with chrome, not to mention chrome peeling probs that come over time with most chrome rims.

    My 2 cents on those 2 choices shown above, but then as you know if it was up to me I'd be going 18" mininmum if not 19 or 20.......
