Hi, I've just been down to Vauxhall for my tie-rod, and I notice that the new Astra has got a 16" x 6.5J five-stud wheel that's a pretty good style-match to the VX220 turbo wheels. I can't say what the offet is and whether it will fit over the calipers, but it's worth someone looking into it. They are part number G0013116659 N/STK WHEEL 6 1/2 J at £92 each plus VAT. Steve

Irmscher do various wheels for the Astra....not sure what all the numbers mean though.

Now wouldn't it be fcuking ironic if Vauxhall bring out a cheap 16/17 option now we've all bought Team Dynamics/Oz/Speedlines etc!!

[Marco]

Astra has two types of wheel that look similar to VXT - one of them comes as standard on the SXi. Offset is 37mm so 10mm spacer and longer bolts and bobs your uncle (original offset is 26mm). What tyres to put on though if keeping OEM rears? Do bridgestone do 195/50/16 re040s? Or need new tyres all round...

someone try them on the frotn of a vxt and post pics!!

[Marco]

standard astra tyres give the same rolling radius as standard 17inch vxt wheel, so could be tried even without buying new tyres. So Steve, try them out

Steady guys, I'm getting there. I got a set of four with tyres this week, so I'll soon have them on for a trial fit...


Steve

Be careful if you buy some. They come in 6J and 6.5J.

[V2VXR]

Those wheels look like a meaner evolution of the current VXT ones. A big . Look forward to seeing the results. I'm also interested in the first picture as a "What happens next?" caption competition. Did the Astra mount the cow on the way past?

[Guy182]

seen an astra tonight with a set of these on. was tempted to steal them. (jokin) they have a much cruvier spoke than the flat spokes of the vxt wheels.. but if just wanting them for cheap trackday use i think they will match up ok my thinking is getting another pair of standard rear vxt wheels, pair of tatty 16inch astra wheels, get them powdercoated black and a set of r888's to suit. - set of cheapish trackday wheels!

[Thorney]

I'd be interested to hear how much they weigh?

Hi John,

I'll weigh one for you today. I agree it won't be the lightest option, but this is really for those like me, who want a 16/17 look and feel. I've always thought that the skinny 17's looked a bit silly! When you can get a shod 16" rim for under £50. then it's a good deal!


Steve

[mandarinvx]

I may have four of these going spare soon (if I get round to buying some 18" TD's!)

[Steve Crisp]

Photo's are ready. Can someone volunteer to remove the car registration and post them on the forum if I mail the photo's to them? Steve

Thanks Dan - I've just sent them to you. I'll post my thoughts on the change-of-feel after I've done Blackpool, Coventry and back to Basingstoke this week, but it feels nice in the few miles I've done. Less harsh over the bumps.

That looks really good, well done Vauxhall! Nice car there as well danyeates

Not my car! Im just hosting the photos
