MV6 wheels are not the same as Elite wheels, similar ..... but different.
These are face lift MV6 rims

agree with what andy says, think you stand more chance getting them by buying a whole car on ebay...unless any ex-plods come with them-think they only came with the cd wheels on the facelifts :-/

No facelift police Omega's for frontline duty ever had anything other than either 15'' steel wheels, or the 16'' alloys from either CD or CDX spec. However, I once did see an early facelift police demonstrator with the MV6 wheels...the same as the one's in Andy B's post.
I think the best way to get some Elite wheels is to just keep looking on ebay. And you never know, a facelift Elite may be broken for spares on here. You never know. Occasionally some people with Elite's want different wheels i/e bigger one's (snowflakes etc), so by no means is it a hopeless search.

yep! or even if you managed to get hold of a 3.2 elite... i might be interested even if it did have a slushbox...provided it was the right colour lol, i like the facelift mv6 wheels but meh i have a thing for the prefacelift mv6 wheels, they remind me of the BBS RK's i think they are
