Black gloss with no logos and they would look amazing on your truck.

Compmotive 6 spoke rally raids would look great too but hard to find. WARNING.

Nah grafty I like your motor as it is, They my look ok on mine with it been black, Thumbs Up
I am surprised that the corsa has lasted so long with iffy subframe if its a manufacturing problem. At least Vauxhall are sorting it out, I think most people would have not bothered with the dealer and just binned the car off sadly.
My mate has bought him self a cheap Vectra, and its cost him 1000 quid to fix, due to some daft module been a recall, but the dealer said its now off and the part was on back order, After all that it turned out to be the harness instead. But he had a 3rd party auto electrical place diagnose it, 1st, who said take it to Vauxhall due to it been the module, which they have to program. He went back to the auto place after Vauxhall changed the unit to play holly hell with them for miss diag. They turned around and said, why the hell did you buy a replacement part? you could have gotten a second hand unit and fitted to the car a long with the said harness. Vauxhall would have programmed it for £30 quid! That wound my pal up even more!
But then again my mate thought he was getting a bargain car. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Yeah, sometimes a bargain can become expensive very quickly!

The vauxhall dealer changed the subframe and valeted the car for literally not a penny. I'm going to get under the car and give it a thorough rust proofing so the same doesn't happen again Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Whatever wheels you choose, don't forget the white lettering on the tyres. Whistle

Quite a contrast to your other ongoing rust problem, much more acceptable attitude from the dealer/manufacturer.

Absolutely! Vauxhall showing landrover how it should be done for sure!

I really like the works wheels but think they need the black arches and other details to fit in. I would love to try them on mine as I think I am also a bit bored now of the twisted / deep dish style wheel. I also think a factory grey 16” sawtooth with the right tyre can look perfect Thumbs Up Andy

I can see what you mean, but I don't really want to mimic a works V8, I just like the wheels.

I can't drop down to 16 inch due to pending modifications Whistle

You don't see many works V8s and so not many of that style wheel Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

I quite like the works wheels and it sort of goes with your 'SV' look. Although i still think my favouites are bowlers.

Yeah the bowlers are nice, however I'm not keen on the exposed centres.

There is an update on the 90, as a teaser, I'm not going to tell you what it is - I'll just leave this photo here Whistle
