Above is a very nice car, 16" BBS RS wheels, 3 piece splits that have been re drilled to 4 stud. Over here they'd sell for 800 plus depending on spec Non refurbed
BBS RM's are the 2 piece splits which I have often found in 15" & 4 stud they'd fit vauxhalls fine without too much hassle but again depending on et and spec.
Lenso's or calibre wheels would be the easiest and cheapest way of getting the same look they pretty much make these in Vauxhall fitment off the shelf

Thanks danny! Hmmm think £800 is slightly costly :/  Was thinking about the rms! How much do these go for roughly? Dont Realllyyyy want lensos, but it might have to be that way if i really like the look of them, as id like to be able to split them!

I'd say those RS's would go for £1k+, seems to be the going rate for a decent set. £800 ish for decent RM's

Tell me about it I've been hunting for a set of RS's to replace my RM's for ages but can't justify 800 - 1.5k on wheels for a corsa lol
RM's are a bit cheaper and usual price is anything from 500 if your lucky to 800-900 again depending on spec and finish. But if your very very lucky some original non tampered ones will pop up now and again for 300 ish, but high change they'd need splitting and rebuilding to get them looking how you want them.
Often find the original BBS bolts to be tarnished and rusty, so a set of 120 stainless bolts will set you back 130+ and then lips can be costly to get them polished or if your fitting wider ones.
My advice would be too shop about and look for the right spec for you, think about what width and size you'd want to get it looking how you want, there are soo many options with the BBS wheels, different offsets and widths from factory.
Those ones on eBay are the same as mine originally were, et 33 will fit with the right tyre choice too.
I'd be surprised if they go for less than 500 but deffo keep a watch on them

Agree with this, that seems to be the going rate for fully finished mint sets
