As title, i need some new wheels on my cav as my front two have a nice buckle on them and all four are more kerbed than the wheels of a woman driving school car (lol)

And i also need two front tyres rather soon, so im considering swapping the astra GTE alloys over from my nova but ive not got a clue how ghey or not it would look tbh so could anyone oblidge (southie, kiss kiss hehe)

The cav......

Would look odd IMO Spud. New alloys FTW!!! The Cav deserves nothing but the best.

If i could afford them then i would, im seriously that skint and my nearside front is almost on the wear bars and the offside aint far behind it either, i cant find a set of slabs cheap anywhere either so this is looking to be my only option, failing that its gonna be steelies :eek:

xxx I'll have a go tomorrow for you. Probably look gash but who knows. Maybe better if you got them down to bare metal so they have a polished finish. ;)

I would if they werent twenty miles away on my nova in the lockup lol


And mk2 SRi130's had the same wheels so im thinking might not look too bad as a temporary measure till all of this christmas bollox is out the way:roll:

Novaboi do them in a polished finish, IMO they'd look more suited.

I retract that statement. They dont look that bad. Good PS Novaboi.

Aye thats true its cos of the angle/distance differences between the pictures, is it possible to reduce the size of the wheel more so they are more to scale, ive not got a clue as ive never even seen the PS program nevermind used it lol

Lmfao at how low youve done it on the back end, think i might have to get them swapped over then and see how silly she looks, rather look silly than have tyres with **** all tread in winter or risk getting three points for em i reckon!

Rysee
08-12-09, 06:45 PM
3 points a tyre isnt it?

Spudly
08-12-09, 06:50 PM
Aye it is indeed, one is just about on the wear bar and one is right behind it so if i dont sort em soon its three points, then if i still dont sort it another three, looks like my job for saturday is found then lol
