I'm thinking of fitting minilites on my nova. Are they available to fit a nova? 14inch if possible around 5 inch. Can anyone help.

Not in a remotely close offset I doubt. Dodgy handling & ground arches ahoy.

Just fancied trying them. I think they look good on any car.

Wow, they look sweet.
What size minilites are those.
How much clearance have you got.

you need to find them with a 4x100 pcd and about a 40-45 offset

If he buys Mini or (like me) Fiat PCD though he can avoid the scene tax placed on 4x100 stuff by the 'wheel whore' community.

I only want a 5 inch wide wheel, 5.5 inch at the max.
What are the one's for the MG's like.
I think i'll probably settle for revos, less fuss.
Just thought i'd do something different as i like minilites.

most of them are wide and low offset so don't fit unless you modify the arches or have the car sat quite high. Best bet is too look on mini forums or ebay as 13s can be found with less width occasionally

chevette wheels.. perfect right up until you exceed 2 mph, or just sit in the car

I'm probably 6 months from getting my project ready for the road, but thought i'd put out some feelers.
