    Default Alloy opinions please

    Well a big thanks to Mr. Southie for his ps,
    What alloys do you think suit my Nova better? Ronals or Borbs?

    Oh man that's a tricky one. Leaning towards the Borbets for me, will they fit under standard arches?

    I'm not 100% sure on what ET they come in, I'd have to look into it a bit more. If I decide on Borbs id tweak the arches to make fit.

    dont hold me to it...but i think its ET15, ET25 and ET30 or around them, ideal for VWs and BMWs but not vaux.

    You'll struggle to get either under standard arches, only come in dub offset et38 iirc, the ronals will be your best bet but the best fitment you will get is 15x7 et40 i think. Loon arches give you the extra clearance. Borbet a's do have less dished versions but im unsure of the sizes available for them
