Do you think they will go well with a calibra/astra, I think they will suit the calibra better.

but do you think they are nice? I know they arn't motor sport alloys :p purely cosmetic.
I'm of two minds about them tbh, I like the dark chrome ALOT, but the design... it's either love or hate I think and I havnt decided which camp i'm in yet!

i know a lad that had them on a astra coupe they were ok but the chrome paint came off the centres.

BK have a good rep for decent rim's so i'm not worried about the quality, it's just trying to invisage them on the car thats hard.
I am getting some turbo alloys with my calibra turbo shell.
Do you know anything about powdercoating/painting alloys with a really good, hard finish? I would like them in black too (yeah I have a thing about black ;) )

now I know the pic is crap because its up really stupidly close with my e700 cam phone, but there is this black calibra on the performance vauxhall pull out calender in the Jan 05 issue.
It has these tinted black head lights, what do you reckon? It sounds totally stupid and chavish but it also looks kind of good matching the window tints and black theme.
What do you guys reckon?

yeah i remember that cally
i am going to have fake black light silhouettes, looks quite good tbh
bk do flake, they arent a great finish
it wasn't long after he bought them but the 2nd set of centres was ok as far as i can remember

so is it illegal or anything?
Pants I thought BK were good quality, can I put another layer of wheel lacquer over it to stop any flakeing do you reckon?

hmm there nice , but for a mk2 astra you would need to max power the rest of it to get away with having them on .
not my cuppa but hey ho each to there own, now... compomotive mo or allesios now your talking.

Yeah I agree, I don't like to max power anything tbh! I like smooth and subtle.
What do you think of the head light tints? + do you reckon it's legal?
i think they'd just come out at the time,might have just been a bad batch

as above depends if there on a mission, personal experience tends to say leave as is...but call me a boring 33 year old if you want!

did nobody notice what car they're for?????...............................ford
they aint right for your car!
matey said the holes are slightly off.....as in two are closer together than the others...so you wont get them on....oh...and they'll be the wrong offset too.
I don't like them imho. Not for a mk2...

Not my cup of tea.
Not really a fan of wheels like that.
