im getting a mk4 astra sri very soon  and will more than likely want to change the alloys... was thinking of vxr or gsi wheels. im guessing the vxr ones will be 5 stud but there may be ways round that  Vote for which you think is best.
PS. No need to slag off my ideas.. thanks

I think Mille Miglia T12's would look well, 17's and lowered a fair bit. Should imagine it would look pretty tidy.

you can use 5 stud hubs and shafts to convert it. the late sri's were 5 stud, so thats no problem
VXR wheels are 18 or 19 inch depending, and the 19s will looks silly on a mk4
gsi rims are the better choice IMO

are they not the 19" wheels that were on that Vectra OPC thing? The 18s for the Astra VXR are 6 spoke and the 19s are a split 5 spoke effort.
Never seen those above wheels on an Astra apart from on the Vaux website although you can buy them.

yeh ebay will probably be best option rather than brand new, im always worried about the wheels being buckeled though 
so are we split between the GSI or the VXR ones above then?

19's look fine on a mk4 astra. Astra H wheels fit the mk4 but be aware thet the tyre sizes are different to that of the H.
The 19'' astra H wheels will fit a G as long as you are prepared to do a bit of arch work. Lots of people are running the astra H sri 18'' wheels on their G's, also lots of copies about on ebay.
