Could you take some more photos of them from different angles?
I think we need pictures of each individual spokes!
And the tyre tread pattern!
Maybe the valves too...

Still look good though. Love the tucked under look better though 8)
They are 17" rims + 215/40 tyres, would have to lower the car to get the "tucked under look", misses does'nt want it lowered......and no we don't want 20" rims

Whoever knew that a simple set of wheels could make a car look so different!


Even if it is a Vectra :troll:

I installed my pod filter yesterday, just onto the stock pipe, to test and see if I like it or not. The engine has an increadable roar now when you put your foot down. The change into Mivec sound is a lot more pronounced now too.
I will video the sound when I get a chance.......
I'm back at TAFE this week and I might be able to get another go on the dyno. I want to see if there is any change in Kw after new timing belt, tappet adjust and pod filter installed. If I get to do it this week I will video it again. :D
