[SRimon]

Not for me, the rear looks broken.

However, kudos needed...looks smart, but better on the old wheels!

[stupot89]

looks good mate

[smirty]

looks sweet where u get them banded?

[sport]

Didnt think you could get better but you just did.

[John]

Looks well! watch for the wheel/tyre catching the rear arch whilst you're driving though. (as i found out lol)

[Graeme]

Porn

[Edd]

Looks ok,

but surely they scrub like fook ?

[mayhem]

rear needs to be lower imo.

the 15's suited the wheelarch perfect, now with 14's it's to big of a gap
(i know, you dont want to mod arches, but still want wide wheels etc etc etc)

[Rickardo]

Brett, clean your trainers dude.. There mingin.. :thumb:

Oh, the car looks ace as usual. :thumb:

[hartley]

hi mate how much did these set u back

[Jack]

No like :(

[saloonwoody]

different which is good :) oh and is that a moke in your garage lol

[Andy]

not keen tbh,and those stickers need binning also.Other than that its perfect

[Benn]

I like, but needs to be lower over them...

They do look really cool.

[Novasport]

Not a fan TBH, like it better with the old wheels. Could look good on these but you would have to slam it on its **** & pull the arches.
Sorry dude :(

[phazer]

Loving the wheels but needs slamming/camber/flared arches euro style to pull it off.

[Lee H]

I don't like but didn't like the other wheels either to be fair. Lovely car apart from them and the stickers.

[Johnny A]

I like, I plan to band my rears about an inch or two in the future

[Angus Closier]

looks good mate but as said already needs slamming on its ass and get the archs rolled out a bit...still like them though!

[daverobson]

love the wheels, but think your old ones suited better tbh. and stickers look fine, not like they're permanent

[dhdev (Oli)]

Wanted to rep you for the Forsyth sticker lol

Love the wheels, but it does need to sit lower at the back IMO, dunno how you'd do it without flaring though :(

[Nick J]

Does look great fella.... Id keep hold of the other wheels though as they were what made the car for me when I looked round it at billing last year.

Nick.

[Nobby]

very very sexual

[floydy13]

i like this now, but then i liked it with your old wheels, and i liked it with your older wheels! liking the brucey sticker, where did you get it!!?

[craig green]

Wheels look great, rear window looks awwful. Bin the stickers man!

[vaughanmc]

Some lower profile tyres would be smarter IMO - Looks fine height-wise as it is

I'd personally ditch the stickers

Very nice car though

[Ernie]

Looks ok but i to liked the other wheels.

[floydy13]

good luck trying to find lower profile tyres than what hes got...nothing doin!!

[milko96]

What size tyres you running buddy....?

I like it, could be lower but your pulling it off...

[Southie]

I like them Brett but as others have mentioned I also prefer the other rims you had they just suited the euro look more.

Still an awesome motor though ;)

[Mark Sparks]

:thumb: Different everytime mate superb work :thumb:

Not to everyones taste but as long as your happy thats what counts :)

Pop round anytime mate allways looks better in the flesh

[dj_wudgey]

looks mint matey!

[Tim-SR]

looks good, think you should sell them me! :thumb: lol

[L14MNP]

Older wheels for me by a country mile. Definitley suited the car more and set it further apart.

Stickers should be in the bin fo sho. :(

Lovely car as ever though mate!

[Brettski]

well for all thows haters out there i am going to give the backend some camber and also drop it 10-20 more on the back and belive me it looks so much better in the flesh than in pics :thumb:

[Stoo]

love it as ir is.
Perfect

[L33 LEG]

Still a very cool car but i prefer the older wheels. The whole car looked perfect then, but now i feel the wheels let it down and the stickers ruin the car completely.

[Connor]

Looks stunning Brett,
Love the car on either wheels tbh, looks the dogs danglies however,
I am trying my mates weller 13x8's over the weekend for banter.
Pics of said wellers:

[Leeboo]

The old 15" expression/astra champion? wheels looked best IMO. Buts its still a very impressive looking SR.

Oh, and stickers are a big no no. Really

[andy_017]

I'm not so sure on them dude!

[Novasport]

Just remember that any wheels that protrude out from the wheel arch are going to get you pulled by the fuzz

[Brettski]

Just remember that any wheels that protrude out from the wheel arch are going to get you pulled by the fuzz

yeah i know this but there is no law to say about your wheel protrudeing your arches jus that the tyer tread must be inside the arch :thumb:

[Paul]

Not a fan if im honest, preffered ur old ones

[JordyzNova]

Loving the wheels but needs slamming/camber/flared arches euro style to pull it off.


was just about to say that :thumb:

[Nick J]

well for all thows haters out there i am going to give the backend some camber and also drop it 10-20 more on the back and belive me it looks so much better in the flesh than in pics :thumb:

Im sure it does fella........ Remember though at the end of the day Its your motor and how you style it is up to you. Theres not many novas wearing banded rims in this country so It is rather unique. If your happy then so be it!

Nick.

[Bubba]

i love em :p how much did they cost to have done?

[octagonalpaul]

nice, banded steels are always a winner

[Alex J]

best wheels ive seen!! i want a set:cool:

[dj_wudgey]

look mint but dont flare the arches! Would ruin it imo!

[Brettski]

Nick.

cheers nick i must say i like how you think and your quite right that how a car is modded reflects the owners tastes etc and i am quite open minded nower days

also i think 99.9% of show cars/daily drivers there is always something that outher people dont like to be fair

atleast with the mods i have done it can be reversed if needs be and if i did pull the arches etc would devalue the car and mean alot of work to return to standard :thumb:

[Brettski]

i love em :p how much did they cost to have done?

230 to band and sandblast
190 for new p6000 tyres
200 for paint

620 all in :eek: :eek: :eek:

allot but worth it as its my own unique touch to the car and will turn heads when rolling through the gates at pv/billing :thumb:

[Edd]

Surely tho if you go over a drain cover or something that makes a lot of suspension travel your front wings are going to be a mess ?

[Brettski]

nope its not the front wings that will ever be the problem its the rears tbh but hey ho i expect a bit of scrubage but the joys of pertrudeing wheels/tyres i supose :roll:

[MattBrown]

Looks good, but not as good as it did:(:(

Personal preferances though mate:thumb:

[Brettski]

wait till you all see it in the flesh the pics do it no justice :thumb:

[NOVA-KID-93]

they look cool as fook, cars looking sweet :thumb: looks good on either wheels, but banded steels are FTW lol

keep up good work mate, cant wait to see this in person :)

[daverobson]

looked back at these pictures few more times, and its grown on me more and more!
i like that you havent modded the arches, still think the front looks better tho lol

top work

[brainsnova]

i like it apart from all the stickers on the back window but you love it and thats the main thing.

[John]

Brett, where was the brucey sticker from?? lol

[SRlew]

looks good mate! look forward to seeing this again

[NOV4_SPORT]

looks pretty cool mate, but would take off the stickers cause it dont really tie in with the rest of the car, but love the opel euro look abot the car.

iain

[pikey1986]

i love this car even more now but all the stickers do let it down a bit

[Brettski]

Brett, where was the brucey sticker from?? lol

:thumb:

[Tommy_nova]

[RJM25R]

[jodla]

[jdm_]

agree that it needs slamming and few stickers removing,
but one of the nicest / most different nova on here

[mowgli]

slamming is fine for doors & show cars, but not for driving on uk roads..........

[GRUNT 16V]

[mowgli]

Not true, i drive mine on the roads almost everyday...

well, you must truly be the luckiest bloke around.... you couldn't get away with it round here

[scott.parker]

Bret just an idea, to finish the euro look off you need either a VW or Ford badge hanging from the rear towing eye.

Scott

[mr5050]

[Graeme]

Stunning and hopefully it'll soon get the recognition it deserves
