yh it looks smart but it will need some badges on the centre caps to finish it off as it looks plain without them, then it needs to be quite low
also have fun cleaning them on a regular basis to keep them in good condition as brake dust will kill white paint if its not clean, happened on mattys wheels
least if there black you cant see the brake dust

iv come to one slight problem....
the 5 fan blades im buying yea, they are allllll 15inch ET49 4x100 yea
, buttt three have bold tyres apparently,
also two of the wheels the ones with good tyres are 205 tyre size, and the other three are 195 aparently
sooooo if i put the 205 on the rear of my car and they still apparently are et49 then will i still be able to slam my back end without them scrubbing
im just really confused as to how two different widths of wheels one 195, and one 205 can both have et49and also be of a cavalier gsi? or did they make two different widths? as they cant be of a calibra as they're 5 stud aernt they?

the ET doesnt change, the majority of modern vauxhall wheels are ET49 besides a few exceptions which are ET45 and ET50, its the physical size of the tyre which changes, fan blades are 7j wide wheels, on a calibra/cavalier they are fited with 205/55/15 and the tyres overhang the rim so to speak, but 195/45/15 tyres fir on the wheels aswell but dont overhang the wheel as much as there smaller in diameter
not all calibra/cavaliers were 5 stud, the 5 stud versions were mainly stuff like the turbo and 4x4 turbo etc

iv just txt the lad to take a look and see how wide the rims are for both the 195 and 205 sets, because i looked about on google and someone said they were 6J wide... so if they are ET49 and 6J wide with tyres of 195/45/R15 on they will definitely fit without any trouble, but if they are ET49 and 7J wide and tyres of 195/45/R15 then will they fit? im sooo confused now
im just waiting for a reply of this lad lol

just found a spare 1.4 16v cat pipe in the shed, so i cut the cat out and welded in a piece of corsa 1.2 8v straight centre section exhaust in its place
but i have made what is called a DE-CAT
so i'l put that on at the weekend aswell as my fan blades and 100mm rear springs
then just be waiting for the front coilies
i can see them coming next week to be honest because they're coming from germany, but thank god im not desperate as iv got my caddy to drive around in
