Just paid £50 for a refurbed set of sxi alloys and tyres (although the tyres are on the limit)
Pics of them fitted


And yes, i no it needs lowering which it will be very soon.
Anyone know the offset of these wheels i forgot to look

All Vaux wheels are the same offset IIRC?
Look nicer, side repeater looks wonky?

Looks good - for some reason, C SXi alloys look really good on B's 
Anyone put the 5 spoke B Sport alloys on a C yet?

Oh yea, when driving it really badly follows the road, is that the balancing? or the fact the tyres are low on grip? or something else??

Yup, them. They were the late Sport wheels I think. Came on B SXi's as well.
13" Irmscher Softstars for £50 is a bargain, considering their new price imo.
