    It might have looked mint; I can vouch for the fact the engine was a crock of ****e though. (Until I rebuilt it and had SBD map it!)

    They WERE the only 16" wheel, long before MIM Brescia's and Raffino's and RL7 and Compomotive MO and Softstars..... 1996 Wheelbse started selling them.

    I'd say it looks better with the speedlines. but it's your car - It's different !

    On a seperate note, i hate the way suposidly famous novas, are referred to by their registration ! It's like one big elitest competion. I have enough trouble remembering my own reg, let alone being able to conjur up an image of someone else car based on their registration !

    Not having a go, just making a seperate point.

    The fitment does contribute to the popularity but I still think they look spot on! similar design to the ferrari 355 rims.

    What wheels is your other nova going to have?

    This car will always be referred to by it's reg plate, It's a simple plate to remember!! It's not supposedly famous.. It is!! It's mag featured and been on the web for years. Therefore famous!! It will always be know as K95 VHD by the Old School Nova owners who know it from the days of Gary, Ben and now Rick owning it, it's been around for years, so it's not difficult to remember the plate! Same thing with A16V TB, H16V TB, MAP 18W, J2 LTB there all easily remembered plates and refered to by the reg by a lot of people! Whats the competition in that??

    K95VHD won't be that for much longer. I still have RJM25R, and I have seen another plate that I might buy.......
