trying to think of some wheels for the kadett. between 13" and 16". prefferably wide, very wide, low offset, dishy, and rare or diferent looking. prefferably something that i can get in the exact sizes and offseft i want. found a place in america that does a wheel like wellers except in 16's, and any width or ofset. but they wont ship to Ireland.... anyways, think id prefer aloys of some sort. preferably i would like to keep it under a grand but will pay a lil more than that for the perfect wheel!

key word here is different lads!!

Stevo

I really dont think alloys would suit that car at all, steels of some sort.
