HI,

I've got the standard 17" Elite wheels on the Tourer at the moment and I'm looking to get 18's instead. Unfortunately the only OEM wheels I like (within my budget) are off the GTC. Obviously they have the same stud pattern, but is there anything else I need to consider i.e. spacers or will they just bolt on.  Thanks

They look absolutely stunning. Face on without any direct light they are just gloss black. Slightest bit of direct light and they come to life. A complete custom one off colour. [Image: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2018021...f1157b.jpg]

Hey everyone.

I own a 2015 Opel Astra Sedan (1.6 CDTi 136PS)

I found 8.5x20 wheels from a wrecked Astra J GTC. I wanna change my OEM 7x17s (225/50 R17) to those.

They both have same bolt patterns (5x115)

Would that change cause any issues (to speedometer, ABS, traction control etc)? Because general fact is more than +3% increase  is not recommended and It's about +6.9% change to the tire size.

But they're also Astra wheels so I'm confused about what should I do.

I'm thinking to

Hi all,

Last night I purchased some new wheels for my car, and I suspect they may have TPMS sensors fitted, but my car doesn't have TPMS.

I have a couple of questions:

1. Can I still use these wheels with the sensors installed? 
   
2. Is it possible to replace the sensors with normal valves?
   

Hello guys, which size of wheels and tires would you recommend for a 1.6CDTi with 110hp?
Currently I'm using winter tires 215/65R16 with 6.5J steel wheels. I want to buy some ALU rims for the summer and new summer tires.
Found some good 17" rims, but at 18" there is even more to choose from. Would 18s be uncomfortable? Or too big for this engine?
I found info for the 136hp engine and recomended sizes go up to 235x40R19 with 8J width, but I cannot find info for my engine.

I was thinking abo

Guys,

I have bought a set of wheels, which I really liked the look of, but I cannot determine which specific variant these are off?

I was sold them as off asn Astra 2014 GTC. They are 18" and are like a fan blade. They come with 235/50/18 tyres.
They are genuine GM/Vauxhall.

Any thoughts?

Im really keen on putting them on my Astra 2011 Elite once the winters come off.

Thanks.

So, a few weeks, maybe a coupe of months, ago I posted THIS message about a set of wheels I bought.

You guys advised they were off an Astra Bi-Turbo.

I really liked the look of these and they were practically mint. So I fancied a change so decided to upgrade.

My car is an Elite, I never every liked the original wheels anyway, so last year I changed them to the SRI Facelift Turbine style wheels.

But now that

Looking at changing to Gtc but dont like the 20 inch wheels as do high mileage. What is a used set worth with 5mm tread and can I fit standard sri 17" alloys when I find some.
