 Insurance is due up for renewal soon so just need to confirm something seeing as everything on my insurance is declared (Deano  )
The corsa is down with the insurance as having alloys, but would a difference in size matter?
I told them they were the standard alloys that came with the car, so having the 15' Astra alloys on now - would that matter?
Are alloys off a different car of the same model considered 'aftermarket' 
Thank a doo

Mines goes by value, not size etc

Alloy wheels, value not exceeding £500.

just do what daz said, better safe than sorry, as they could turn around and say your not insured as they are the wheels that came standard on the car etc etc..
prob cost very little more, if anything at all

insurance can do people out of this, for example if the insurance company didnt ask much about the alloys and said they would be covered, but then find out that they were too big/wide,wrong offset,etc are wrong because some insurance companies contact the manufacture, in this case vauxhall, if they say they would fit and would make it unsafe, insurance dnt have to pay out...depends what insurance company hes going with
