Oh yes, without a doubt, ready to race, johnny

[Sheriff]

Nice, but I personally go for anthracite instead of black

[Aussie]

got some pics of those so will have a go with the anthrocite also :)

[S3 VXR]

Do they come in 19s ?

[Sparky]

Hmmmm in my humble opinion I'm afraid I am not keen. Never been keen on black wheels, although I do understand lots of people like them. Thought about them in red? Like the design and good for cooling. Have you looked at the Pro-Race 2 ,5 spoke, they come in black, also the more important part, the weight. l think they are only about 7-8 kg each.

couple of more pics standard compared with BTCC style

[Aussie]

Mark do you have any pics of the pro-race 2 or able to point me in the right direction please mate
the standard rims have grown on me tbh but i was never overally keen on the opt 19's for the astra but do look great on the veccy so the intentions was always look for something else, might ask the guy who did these for me to do the 888 anthrocite :wink:

[Sparky]

[Insignia VXR]

As long as you pay the extra 300 notes for more VXR badges on the centrecaps and don't get the ones they actually use on the BTCC cars :lol:

[jimster]

[jimster]

[joevxr]

They look really good. Do you have a link to where i could look at them and prices??

[Aussie]

how about i lock this thread, even better i will delete the ******** :lol:

wheels have been on since last year so there is nothing to see in here so please move along :D

[SteveP]

This might be a silly question shane but are those VXRacing BTCC alloys available........at the risk of sounding stupid......lol

[Aussie]

yeah they are mate but i went down the Team Dynamics pro race 1.2 (which are almost identical to the VXRacing BTCC vectra wheels) which the VXRacing branded ones are based off , very much the same tbh but a tad cheaper due to production levels and colours

[SteveP]

Have you a link for the VXRacing BTCC ones?

[Aussie]

nope sorry i dont mate

[SteveP]

Would you be able to photoshop some alloys on if i found a pic?

[Aussie]

mate the VXRracing is identical to my TD pro race 1.2, the only main difference being mine has team dynamics motorsport printed in the lip (same as the BTCC car) and the ones VPC sell have a little sticker like VXRacing on 3 spots on the lip but other than that you wont notice any other difference, same weight & same heat treated build

as for photoshopping, im not your man for that im sorry :lol:

what mine now looks like fo the record and to end this thread again until next year :lol:

I nearly bought the corsa instead of the astra, how do you find the corsa compared to your astra?

[VX Mel]

I can help out with photoshopping... :D

[Aussie]

I nearly bought the corsa instead of the astra, how do you find the corsa compared to your astra?

my wife loves her corsa, for me its the astra but saying that the corsa is so much fun, handles superb and with it being 200kg ligher than the astra she has cought me out a few times at the lights, but not much to wheel her back in :lol:

so there you go Mel will sort out out for the photobucket job, if you need a better pic of the wheels let me know :D

[SteveP]
