If anyone has ever felt the weight of a astra gsi 17" alloy you will no they are silly heavy, as part of the astra-slimming i choose these for a few reason's

: the company make the wheel's for the VXR berg
: they are the same as berg wheel's but 17"
: they are allready black
: they weigh half of a standard vauxhall 17' alloy

alloy in question



car in question



Ordering next week, option's would be good just incase i didnt think outside the box, and i dont have the £ for BBS CH jr

I think Pro Race 3's will look amazing! Look almost identical to Comp Mo's but are ridiculously light
