Take it you mean steinmetz. If so best place to try is rossiters` they import all there gear and there the cheapiest in the uk. Not sure if it will fit the GSI tho, you might have to cut the top part away. Thats what i had to do to fit mine on a corsa c.

If your lowering the car then the 15" minstrals are perfect for handling and acceleration I should know i've got them on mine 
Do you have any pics of your corsa with the minstrals on mate??

My centre caps went on all of them without any probs what so ever 
Is it the driveshaft spindle that sticks out to far???
If you can take a good pic in daylight of the problem and i'll do the same with mine and you can compare the 2
I'm off just now mate but I'll post the pic up tomorrow as your problem sounds very strange to me

Not at all as I also have the 2ltr in mine, unless the driveshafts you've used are too long at the ends

Try your best not to usea spacer as the Minstrals are et45 offset and its on borderline of bad torque steer as it is

jesus I wish I could say that I have had a gear box change, a split power steering pipe a major oil leek and now on Friday a cracked head or head gasket, I dont know what I can do now then its not as if I can drive without my centre caps cos they look sh!t without them and the rims dont look right without the centres

The badge on a GSI bumper is reccesed so the body shop will have to plastic weld over the hole it can be done but because of all the sanding the whole bumper will have to be smoothed then at extra cost.
It can be done yes, ya can pick up fiberglass ones on the cheap, bets price on a GM one will be from LMF i would have thought
