picked up some vxr alloys

**eve01rton** · 20th February 2013, 22:18

managed to find myself some 19" vxr alloys. no cracks or repairs. do have some scuffs but nothing major and sure will add to them over time. got them cheap as seller moving abroad and advertised as low tread on tyres. they are all contis with approx 4/5/6mm of tread. driven round in past with far less tread than that. pic only shows 1 but got all 4. car been in bodyshop for last 10 days getting bootlid sprayed when mate got spare time. getting it back tomoz but sadly start a run of 7 12 hour shifts so not going on till next weekend earliest.

I've never thought about it until now, but is the Vxr offset the same as the Vectra ? I remember reading somewhere that the Insignia is different because it uses BMW brakes but assumed the Vxr would be different too.

Dont hold me to this piece of info but think the early Vxr alloys are et45 but the later (diamond cut) which I got are et43. Someone can correct me if talking rubbish.
