buying an astra coupe in a few months and was wandering which wheels would look best.
Fletch is selling his 18" multispoke, but dunno if these are much of an increase on standard look.
Any help appreciated

the 604s that fletch is selling look similar to the OZ wheels that the TOCA cars use, and they're a good price.
Any suggestions?

nah they're superleggras or super tourismo's on the tourers, which are totally different to 604's imo.

lowering will be one of the first mods to the car, so that won't be a problem.
I thought they used super Ts on the touring cars, but maybe i'm wrong.
Just trying to get some ideas of what i'm gonna do to it.
This is what i'm aiming for, but gonna be a little while yet - gotta sell my Corsa first.

Noooo, dont get lowering springs, get urself a set of decent coilovers.
my mates just bought the 1.8 16v coupe, already sitting on 19" TSW's, not sure what they are called but they are like 32 spokes or something!! 
they really suit the car, fit the arches a treat, i didnt even realise that they were 19's at first so 18"s maybe a bit of a dissapointment?

My mate has the turbo cabriolet with 18's they look like 17's but going bigger just throws out the handling and acceleration
