Got these this morning second hand from a guy off Migweb called Miles. Gave them a quick clean up and stuck on some new Toyo tyres and they are ready to fit when my Nova finally arrives. :lol:

Thats right Ben, these ones were from a Cavalier Cesaro I think. But they were also fitted to the Calibra and late Cavalier SRi 16V's and Astra Cesaro. quite rare I believe.

If you see the state of the three spokes that are on the Nova im getting you would understand why I got them ready :lol:

I got the tyres from

www.mytyres.net

They are 195/45 15 Toyo Proxes, cost ?41 each inc VAT and delivery which I didnt think was to bad at all.

yes they are definately some of the best standard vauxhall wheels around, plus as you said there not on every other car.

I just oredered some tyres of them for the golf but cost more as there a queer size.

Out of intrest how long did they take to arrive?

Tyres only took a couple of days to arrive. Think it depends on thier stock level though.

Yes, but any mainstream brand... does budget tyres. Toyo, perellli etc all do budget tyres. This chap doesn't have the crappiest ones. So hence the higher price. Nice wheels mate!!!

They used to be fitted to Mark Watt's famous nova, when it was a 1.6 8v turbo...
