im changing the wheels on my nova. its black/anthricite. not sure whether to go for black, white or just normal silver alloys so if you have a black nov, fancy putting up a picture?
i was going to go for oz ultralegras in red to be different but they dont do an offset for the nov
cheers

Just saying its boring for the benefit of haters of GSi kits and Speedlines on here.

Only on the front on that picture, was on custom -100mm rear springs. Have since fitted rear coilovers too though.

standard gsi/sr 3 spoke alloys wont fit over 2l brakes will they? do you think they could be machined to clear the calipers. may look stupid with spacers fitted.

Just checked his WIP http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92923
They are Cav TD calipers. Has no-one ever tried running MG metro 4 pots?

Dod
17-07-08, 02:04 PM
They're not just for MGs. All metros of that model at least had 4 pots but apparently these were **** brakes. They suited the rest of the car then so.

17-07-08, 02:10 PM
Ah ^ no way, my mate was thinking about them for his mk1 xr2 to fit under the 13" 'pots, another mate has a set that are going on his Mini, but I guess that won't take much stopping lol

2l 16v brakes will fit under 3 spokes. however, you have to use worn pads and grind a bit off the caliper
