New wheels for my Astra
I recently had a little accident an was having the car repaired an made a few changes. Found out the wheels were bent so had to invest in a new set. Thoughts? Oh and the hood is only primered, has not been painted yet.

Re: New wheels for my Astra
Looks good. I'd look at some VHT Niteshades or similar for the corner markers.

Re: New wheels for my Astra
Those look really good.
I've toyed around with the idea of getting some 18s for my car. Problem is, I checked the little sticker in my door jam and I'm supposed to have 18s, I bought my car used and I have 17s. I know it affects my speedometer reading slightly, and for that matter - my odometer as well. Other problem? I already have new tires to replace the OEM on my 17s haha. I might be waiting a while.

Re: New wheels for my Astra
The issue with a speedometer that's off is overall tire diameter. As long as your new tires have approximate overall diameter, readings will be correct.
Even though you might have the correct tire size, not all have the same outside diameter. My Falkens were slightly smaller than my OEM Hankooks. Same size, but a different outside diameter. As long as you're only off a slight amount, it's not a big deal.

Re: New wheels for my Astra
I think everything looks great. But I'm not really a fan of primed hoods, just not my thing. The car looks great tho.
