Thats pretty pricey tbh mate, they had better be mint for that money, I bought mine in good condition in silver for £230 delivered, and they had near enough brand new tyres all round, however the calibra's use 205/50/16s on them, which arent right for a corsa I run 195/45/16s on mine. I refurbed mine in anthracite for £140. Also a couple of things worth mentioning, my corsa is lowered 50mm, and I have lost full lock (because the inside of the wheels catch the anti roll bar clips)! Also the tyres rub pretty badly on the rear arches, not sure if this is because they are ET42.

hmmm well they are great condtion, just been refurbed and already have 195/45 tyre son (he was gonna use them on his corsa before he sold) and i cna imagine they rub abit and that and think it will be because of offset, as my current wheels are et 45 and 16x7" and dnt rub at all

Well in that case they seem well worth it, if you can get him to go down in price then do it mate. Usually if you can make an offer to buy them very soon (eg: how about £300 collected tomorrow) he will be more likely to accept, as he knows you are serious about buying them. Also I would advise collection, as if they are not EXACTLY what you are after, it saves the hassle of sending back etc.

Also when I got mine, the centre caps were pretty shot, so I bought brand new ones from vauxhall, they were about £30 for all 4, but well worth it! I would check to make sure these are in good nick, and if not knock him down a few.
