    Default Speedlines?

    Getting tired of the same old speedline hate

    Same on Facebook too, folk slagging Novas with speedlines,

    So I guess to look at it another way, what's wrong with having a common wheel ?
    The Ford boys don't seem to get bored of the same wheel

    I don't see the problem really. They're a decent wheel, suit the car, and come in the right offset. Yes they're common but hey ho.

    Probably find most of the hate is from people who like to fit 13x8" ET20 wheels to Novas. With 175 tyres on

    A refurb should do it, they get blasted or acid dipped anyway,

    There was a lad on here done his LET or XE rocker cover and spark plug cover in flock and it looks awesome, and different from the norm

    very true, might give it a go when I can be bothered, not sure about engine parts though, oil would be a nightmare!

    mk999, a little bit of wee came out I laughed so hard

    Only my N/S/R rubs, I might add very slight camber YOOOO to clear the arch, then fit 135 tyres
