    Well its really all dependent on personal taste. What looks s**t hot to me may look tacky to some one else.

    But generally i tend to think Euro looking mags suit Astras very much. As opposed to powder coated, colored or other such mags that you see alot of on Japanese made cars. I was at one stage thinking of going the option of a bronze/gold or white rim on my car. But have finally decided on a gunmetal type finish. Looks tidier and a bit more classy on the car i think. (Yet to buy them...but they will be mine!)

    As my Esteemed Collegue above said.
    Euro Made Rim look the Dice on a Astra.
    Chrome Looks Gay Unless they're Lowenhardts or Lorinsers :twisted: but @ $1000 per Rim in 17"-18" they better look the Goods.
    I'm a BIG Fan of MAK Wheels, They're Standard Equip. on OPC and are Reasonable Priced @ around $380 per Rim for 19" :twisted: and $300 for 18".
    But when in Doubt go BBS in Silver, They suit ANY Thing.

    i reckon BBS RK wheels would look AWESOME on any astra as well as OZ superleggeras and F1CUP. the BBS RK costs just over 2000 for wheels alone. OZ are closer to 3.

    the other thing is the the stud pattern, most of manufactures don't really make 5x110. and u have to get the offset right coz getting it wrong can mean that even 16s can rub. for 17s u'd generally wanna get offsets definitely above 40, above 42 to be safe. a slightly higher offset(>42) if u are going to run 45 profile tyres.

    hope that helps

    I like the BBS RS wheels but at $615 a piece, I have found that Speedy wheels has a hyperfang which looks the same at a third of the cost.

    I my opinion chromies look crap on the astra, also remember depending on the colour of you car diferent mags might look better then others.

    It took me a good 6 months to decide what mags i would get for my car.
