I do agree with the wheels being big. But if you want to stick to a nova wheel your best option and preety much your only option is a SR/GTE/GSI wheel (3spoke thing with holes)

I always quite liked the feel of the astra gsi mk3 wheel. Feels good, but looks rubbish.

calibra turbo leather 4 spoke wheel is smaller, mate had one on his astra gte and felt good compared to normal sized wheels!

They're off cav gsi, astra mk2 and 3 iirc, i have one here! Mk2 gte 16v items were leather rimmed iirc, and had "gte 16v" written on the centre boss.

yeh i like that mk.2 astra gte wheel too myself, would look good in a mk.2 nova, bit too smooth for a mk.1. id have to say im a fan of the standard mk.1 2 spoke, altho i have a 3 spoke nova gte wheel i MAY put in mine.
