once again here i am with mine 


19inch TSW pace..they do slow down acceleration a bit but the car handles a lot better on the road than when the 17s were on it.
anyway, i recon the coupe either suits fat 5 spokes or a set of multispokes

i recon the offset and the width will be too much for the coupe....vxr rims not 35/38 offset?
i know the 18inch 5 spokes off the mk5 sri are 35 or 38 as i had a set.
i'm runing et40 on my 19s and there is no room to go with a lower offset..

Clicky clicky
Those are, imo, THE nicest wheel that Vauxhall do, but as for fitment to your coupé I have no idea but I do know that they will exceed your budget by quite a lot!
But they look soooo nice!

Well that was an eventful day 
Went to Top Gear in Basingstoke for a look around, full of cack wheels that would be found on Saxos.
Then went to R-Tec, who were and are always extrememly helpful, they had a set of wheels Decorsa 5's I think, but Rich said that they look excellent but the centre caps won't fit due to Vauxhalls having gay hubs, looked at a few other wheels none of them really took my fancy at all.
So then to Lee Mitchells in Dartford to look at my Nova and get the address of Elite & Rochford Tyres, left Lees went to Elite in Rainham, good place nothing grabbed me apart from Technomagniseum Detroits in 18's, but no one was about to ask about prices and fitment so left.
Then to Rochford tyres in Rochford who were busy and again did'nt have anything in stock, so I'm still on standard wheels

Keep an eye out on MIG mate as a set of 18" detroits off a Mk3 GSI went for silly money recently. I know you are on 5 stud but somethings usually comes up like VX220 wheels etc 
have a week look on Wheelbase as well:
http://www.wheelbasedirect.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=R32%2DStyle
I know its a VW fitment but surely thats close enough?
Also Formula Ones up near brands (could pop in on JR for some tea) do a lot of wierd wheels...bit pricey but most of the time the people in there will cut you a deal just to get a sale

They're Vectra VXR aren't they? The Astra VXR gets those in 6 spoke in 18" as standard and the ones shopped on the blue coupe as the 19" option.
Shame, as they're nicer in 5 spoke. Fitment is very bad indeed though on a G.

Vectra OPC (so VXR over here yes), seen them on a Astra mk5 SRi-T and they look so good, not seen them look bad on any car yet.
