I like these, but at £450 per wheel I think they may be a little pricey

called them and the £450 is per set without tyres, also enquiring whether they can do 110PCD on the 5 stud pattern

yeah Vaux 5 stud is 5x110mm was gutted cos my toyotas are 5x100mm, so i cant use them on a astra or vectra.

its basically the distance between the centre of a stud hole to the centre of the next hole.

Thank god you dont own a 1 litre saxo, they are 3 studs!
