As long as you get the right offset they should fit fine.
Only pic i've got..

To get the correct offset is awkward as iirc there usually et low 30's but if you want those wheels its the euro look your going for and odd fitting wheels is the way forward for the euro look.

lmfao, so i'm odd?
there made in et low 20 and et 36 or 37 iirc
I like the euro look myself but the wheels do look odd fitting, not bad just odd!
If the search is used, all the information you can imagine is available at your fingertips!
Why bother even having a forum, just use the search function and see whats been posted in the past, would make a great intresting website!
Cos its really interesting seeing the same threads over and over and over and over and over and over and over again isnt it!
On a side note, how do i fit an XE into my nova?
is a vauxhall nova the same as a opel corsa A?

Hi,
I'm just wondering is it a little bit easyer to get over the "et" problem if you have a saloon??
Tried search !

Well its not like many new ideas come out and with the youngest nova being 15 years old its always going to be things being repeated. If you dont want to keep re reading things dont view them, just scroll over the title read the first line, if youve read it in the past posted by 18 other people, ignore the 19th!
Its not difficult!

Yes there is a bigger tolerance with the Saloon, not much but it is slightly better.
A little shove in the right direction, ie the search function, isnt harmful either.
HC, due to the round arches, you may get away with it a bit easier

Thank you Stoo and Ben
A little shove and being rude are not the same thing, the club wants new members, it wants to be a resource for people to find help with there cars, if someone comes on here thinking this and get a far from witty reply saying oh god this gets asked every week use the search button.
They will probably think, oh what a **** clicky site that is, wont bother signing up to that,
I wasnt being rude at all, i was pointing a relatively new user in the direction of a very good functioning search tool. Which is more than can be said for most forums.
A litlle research and inginuety go a long long way.
Thats your opinion
have you,

Comes across quite snotty and rude to me!
Well your quite obviously reading it wrong.
However, your anti-attitude comes across in a similar fashion.

you just said post a pic up of breeny car so i did, this pic was from the roybacer days, still very close to ronal turbos, the 1st pic uploaded didnt hav ronal turbos on either but still a nice choice for a nova either way!
Pistol Pete
09-09-08, 04:15 PM
The greeny Nova on the first page? They are Ronals... Adam said Breenys (top Nova BTW!) had Ronals (but they didnt) and was corrected.:) :thumb:
They look similar, so MEH lol lol

theres must be 2 types of ronal turbos then as the ones in the 1st pic arent engraved ronal turbo?
Pistol Pete
09-09-08, 04:48 PM
No, they have been polished so the black part that is usualy in the middle is not.
IMO they dont look the same. Ronals have a dished centre.
there are at least two types
some have the lettering, early ones dont

ronal turbos will look lovely and fit easy them above are not ronal turbo's they are from the schimidt range (german) you can get them if your looking to spend from around 1149 big ones with tyres

09-09-08, 05:26 PM
Ronal turbo's have been around for donkeys years, they dont all have the lettering on them. They certainly dont come in an offset close to -49mm to fit on a 3-dr.
Try ebay.de

I think he's right. I always see these in TV . can never read the make of them out as their logo is all squashed

No seriously
they are ronal turbos, series ones
the ones your thinking of are scmidt TH lines
They are most definitely not TH Lines!
Trust me!

Think stevie-p your right about them wheels
Wrong about the offset of rolan. think you can get two but only as high as 36-38
IIRC

They are all the same wheel mate. The Nova pic i posted are Ronal Turbo alloys. The wheels you posted are Schmidt TH's, Breenys Nova has Compo TH's and the ones i have just posted (the teddy bears), i'm taking the mick!;) lol

I think i'm right in saying this, but i'm willing to be corrected, Ronal Turbo R10 are what they are mate:) . This could go on all daylol . Some had the ronal turbo in black on the wheel, some were plain.

I bought a set of Ronal Turbo's brand new back in 1998, the ones I got had the Ronal writing......odd
the ronal writing is a 'replica' of the original (without letters) and that version is rare
As long as you get the right offset they should fit fine.
Only pic i've got..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/Pete_58/novagold8gw1.jpg
They are phase 1 ronal turbos. The ones with the writing on saying ronal turbo are the phase 2's/

They look more like Schmidt TH lines tbh.

08-05-09, 12:13 PM
my intinal thought when i saw the pic on the 1st page. dont look anything like Ronals to me at all.

Is it okay to bump a 8 month old thread :confused:
I'm joining in seeing as this is back up for discussion and I never bumped it lol. Without writing = ph1 and with = ph 2.
Never been a fan of the phase 2's TBH. Too 'busy' and why a wheel would have turbo written/stamped on it is beyond me.
/retard mode. I assume it's because they resemble a turbine?
Still a gay idea.
Pistol Pete
08-05-09, 03:07 PM
Why has this been bumped? FFS, BTW for the record they ARE Ronals....
the ones without writing are phase 1, the are focking rare and expensive, the ones with writing are phase 2, still to buy new for about 500 euro a set, without tyres.
the are made in 7j et28 and et37 iirc.
to confuse some even more...
there is also a 3piece version of it, with RONAL RACING written into it. these are also freaking rare and expensive.
