Got a chance to help a wheel company to come up with a design for some Astra wheels

These are 2 designs I'm thinking off

Opinions please or if you have any design ideas would be helpful thanks

***Rusty2009*** · 25:th-May-2014, 13:07:15

Not sure mate they both seem quite run of the mill what would be good would be something totally different that's not been done before.

**tucpal** · 25:th-May-2014, 13:28:28

i would like to see some designed with out curbing repair issues so the spokes were like a deep dish but not too deep
say about half an inch in this way only the rim would get curbed not the spokes

**cornishtaz** · 25:th-May-2014, 13:56:02

Thanks guys if you've got any pics please put them up

After a long day yesterday (nearly 5hrs to get home from Exeter). We trial fitted a couple of wheels from the stock they had. 18s were far too small and they don't do 20s yet

These are the top 3 designs I liked

These I'd like with the inner faces done a darker colour to allow the spokes to stand out a bit better

This is the same as Regal have on their VXR but in a different colour

Opinions appreciated

**tucpal** · 31:st-May-2014, 20:57:02

i like pic one very much but the multiply holes do not really get my vote but the third one wins for me
you would need a 19 inch minimum on the GTC but 18 would work on the j
but as the 20 inch look so good on the VXR it is a must really

**cornishtaz** · 31:st-May-2014, 21:03:59

The centre would be drilled to the correct pcd not multihole also the offset will be changed to approx 36 allowing the wheel to sit further out. I prefer pic 1 as the spokes don't protrude pass the lip. 20s are in the pipeline but along way down the road.

The company I went to many deal with Japanese cars but want to widen their market

that would make pic one the winner then Smile

***Rusty2009*** · 31:st-May-2014, 21:56:48

The only ones we trial fitted were 1 and 4. We did get some good measurements I know I can from a 41 offset to a 36 without any problems maybe even down to a 34 offset

Rears deep dish fronts normal I suggest... maybe style them similar to BBS ones.

The rear arch bulk out the car so deep rear alloys would suit it well.

**cornishtaz** · 5:th-Jun-2014, 19:15:48

What do you guys think to these wheels

Nice but spokes a bit too thin, bit thicker and would look better in my opinion.

Its a handsome looking car

**Migwell030744** · 13:th-Jun-2014, 19:39:14

Wheel 3 for me.
At that price they must be made of GOLD. But then that would be too soft.

At that price you wouldnt want to put them on your car anyway lol they would be mounted on my living room wall

**Migwell030744** · 14:th-Jun-2014, 13:12:14

Still frightened that somebody will break in and nick them.
