Wheels

The wheels used for the Xtreme are the OPC Y-spoke (also called Opel Snowflake), which can be found usually in the Astra H OPC, Vectra C OPC and Zafira B OPC. Link to a shop, the main difference being the depth of the wheels and the size, the ones on the store are 18" and is more flat but the xtreme's are 20".

The spoiler has 2 layers. I haven't been able to spot any store to be selling a similar one the xtreme has.
