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

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.

There nice, what did they come off?
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
Baxter - your biast lol
RJ - i thought about them, but not many local (or even localish)

when you say Astra 6 spoke, do you mean mk3 astra??
they're mk3 astra "arctic" rims iirc.

1 moment (watch this space)

Best pic I can find i'm afraid, but is it those?
*Watching*
Anyone know if 205/55/R15 tyres would fit a nova alright? Mines not lowerd atm but im planning -40.
Edit: Yep them
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
Hmmm, shame your not further West, I know of a set going for £10 in Gloucester
what about Astra sport Alloys in White? or possibly Black?

Thats sounds good too!
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
/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!
There tried and tested mate and rarely look bad on Novas imo
Astra Sport
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj100/spavosry/car4.jpg
Yer i was just about to post about them. I dont like them :tard: lol
Greame - Which? lol
Corsa SXi? Quite chunky, look good on a Nova IMO. Loads around.

Save your money and buy some springs lol
Already got front coilovers and rear springs ;)
RJ - they seem to be expensive though, low budget/money problems. you know how it is.
Right Alex you big girl!

Silver slabs

White Mo's

Take your pick u gay homo!
Capless Cesaros if you don't wana spend much dude. A timeless budget winner.
gloss black slabs for me, of the black cesaros
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)
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
Cesaros can be had for 30/40 quid with useless RJ tyres dude. Just scour the bay.
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.
What about astra gte alloys?
white MOs
:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Alex is too tight to spend £200+ on wheels though lol

That was just an estimate, what i payed for mine..
Yep, i dont have the cash for mo's and my car would look excatly the same as Jays.
Astra GTE teardrops are kool, havnt seen any for sale though :s
