Sorry about the crap pic but I had to take a photo of a magazine!!

Does anyone know what they are or at least who owns the Nova so I can ask them?!

They are 5 spokes (obviously) with a flat face?

I thought that at first but then slapped myself in the face as they are so clearly not lol

They have more of a defined 5 spoke than slabs

two different wheels??? and i wouldnt say cav slabs because you would be able to see the "3d" ness of the slab, where as that pic just looks totally flat

I reckon they are some kind of odd euro wheel that was never popular & certainly not available anymore.

A Ronal or ATS wheel perhaps.

I'd say you could machine the metal from a Cavalier GSi wheel to look almost like that. Which has crossed my mind before.

If you put up a better picture you may get a better responce, as it looks like a cavalier wheel but could be a avec alloy or even a borbet. Even without my debluring vision i.e taking glasses off I couldn't make it out! :p

an omega elite wheel is prob more like it than a cav slab, just there's too big a gap between the spokes on the elite wheels

If you wanted to spend a little bit more cash than you'd usually spend on a set of wheels look up image wheels as they will make billet wheels to your specification and design. awesome wheels come out of that company but also they charge awesome prices!!
