I can't say I've ever had a problem with them fitting, but if you feel they are too short you could go to any alloy wheel retail outlet and get a new set of bolts of them.

Or maybe bolts from a scrappy? As long as the bolts are alloy wheel bolts they should fit though - I'd have thought the length would eb the same for SRi and GSi wheels.

If you have standard vaux alloys on ure vec then the standard bolts should fit fine but may ures have had steel wheels fitted first? if so to the second one just get some bolts from a alooy equipped vectra bud
