Suggest what you like, but must be cheap to buy. And clear 256mm brakes (although mine are allready chopped)

Bring it on guys.

Baxter - your biast lol

RJ - i thought about them, but not many local (or even localish)

The wheels i would really like are astra 6spoke things. But expensive :(

Black slabs are too gangsta for that innocent looking Miami Blue Nova.
Get some silver 15s from a Vectra or Astra. Job done.

AlexW
04-02-09, 10:00 PM
Im really liking the look of the Gloss black slabs, afterall thats my plans on the outside.

Silver slabs wouldnt be so bad too, my 3spokes are silver so.... Hmm

Best pic I can find i'm afraid, but is it those?

AlexW
04-02-09, 10:03 PM
*Watching*

Anyone know if 205/55/R15 tyres would fit a nova alright? Mines not lowerd atm but im planning -40.

Edit: Yep them

Graeme
04-02-09, 10:05 PM
Tbh mate there is more chance of my ar$e hole healing up than getting away with those tyres without catching. I just got four 195/45-15s for 130 quid of ebay and no problems to report so far

AlexW
04-02-09, 10:07 PM
lol lol lol

KSRY
04-02-09, 10:07 PM
Hmmm, shame your not further West, I know of a set going for £10 in Gloucester

AlexW
04-02-09, 10:08 PM
Gay!

KSRY
04-02-09, 10:12 PM
what about Astra sport Alloys in White? or possibly Black?

djshaggeh
04-02-09, 10:13 PM
Thats sounds good too!

Graeme
04-02-09, 10:13 PM
The six spoke ones on the red astra are everywhere, really cheap, I guarantee a morning going around the local scrappies you will come away with a set for next to nothing, the ones I have, without the locking centre cap are apparantly a rare wheel. Also they are only 5.5 wide and make a 195/45 tyre look very good

AlexW
04-02-09, 10:17 PM
/me goes off to look for astra sport wheels.

Graeme - i know i could problery, but the scrappys are total pap around here. Im starting to be swayed by slabs though.

Arge i cant decide!

Graeme
04-02-09, 10:18 PM
There tried and tested mate and rarely look bad on Novas imo

KSRY
04-02-09, 10:19 PM

Yer i was just about to post about them. I dont like them :tard: lol

Greame - Which? lol

Jack
04-02-09, 10:55 PM
Corsa SXi? Quite chunky, look good on a Nova IMO. Loads around.

RJ - they seem to be expensive though, low budget/money problems. you know how it is.

gloss black slabs for me, of the black cesaros

AlexW
04-02-09, 11:55 PM
Mo's are going to be to expensive.

Corsa SXI wheels are, well to expensive and the more i look at them, the more i dont like them lol

How much are Cesaros going to cost me though (Capless or with caps)

Plug
04-02-09, 11:55 PM
White Mo's FTW but on the pricey side :(

Cesaros go for over £100 on here and the bay

but if you can find them in a local scrappy you could grab a bargain

L14MNP
04-02-09, 11:57 PM
Cesaros can be had for 30/40 quid with useless RJ tyres dude. Just scour the bay.

AlexW
05-02-09, 12:00 AM
Yer, scrappy isnt a option, the local guy knows his stuff :roll:

Il have a lookie on ebay, if anyone knows of any going dirt cheap, PM me.

Im awaiting some money, so what i get will depend on what wheels i go for. And what is around when i get the cash. As my tyres are illegal now.

spend the money on tyres and stick with the 3 spokes.
there darkside rims that are getting rarer and rarer now.
they suite any nova that isnt chavved.
