Opinions on these alloy wheels ?

Not seen another Nova with these fitted except from one pic of Craig Green's Nova

I personally think they look good - Nice and wide and fill the arches height/width wise

What do you think ?

Tried my mates Softstars on the car and it didn't look quite right - Looks 100x better with 14's or these 15's :)

Cesaro's are on the list lol

Slab's would be burned/melted down into something more useful as they are horrid

15" Softstars are too small and chunky looking...

Speedlines are also on the options list ;)

Irmscher twinstars iirc.
And look very good, thought for a minute you ment the early GSI wheels which only look good on one side.

Aye I noticed that on a Corsa lol

These are a wee bit different - I'll clean them up a bit and maybe put some Irmshcer centre caps on them :)

I like :) Suits the car imo

Aye they do suit the car - A wee clean/polish/wax then some 195/50/15's and new centre caps and they'll be good to go :)

Maff Searles yellow one had them years back too.

They look well on yours though, something different!

I'll be keeping them for now anyway :)

New tyres and centre caps then a really good clean and they'll be re-fitted :D

Irmscher twin spokes if im not mistaken, wouldve been a buyer option depending on wallet size originally, only ever seen them fitted to one nova and it was in for breaking at colin smiths a few years back when i was collecting some interior!

Nice to see a set of wheels that you dont see everytime you look at a nova.
vaughanmc
13-04-09, 09:34 PM
Aye, that's what I thought

They should be a lot better with 195/45's on them though :thumb:

As soon as there fitted, soon...I'm going to get the tracking done as well to see if that makes any improvements to the car...
