For those that aren't aware, snow tyres are a legal requirement here in Germany which obviously with a VX is not as easy as with a run of the mill car. So after much fannying around and option exploration I finally came accross a full set of OEM Opel Speedster winter wheels with Vredestein Snowtrac tyres (7-8mm of tread) on sale on German Ebay. These are by far the best solution and seriously rare so I was very happy. Anyway I fitted them last night, they're quite a bit lighter than the standard 17in wheels but despite only being 15in, they slotted straight on without any change in ride height due to the thicker nature of the snow tyres. I'm running Quantum Zeros and a fairly low ride height so it was a big plus that I didn't have to go fiddling with that. First impressions are good, low speed turning is easier and the ride is a little better. I'll update this with a review of snow performance once there is some snow to test them on...
Anyway here is a laughably poor quality picture with them fitted:
