what your personal opinions on theese wheels

[nova_saloon]

Just put theese on for a trial fit as a mate has the for sale at an extremely reasonable price, as i know i had a thread saying trouble with wheels. yes... no... reasons why?

Just looking, camera pictures always do my car justice, its not as mint as it appears (they all like that really)

[MK999]

long as you take the jack out of the back end they might work lol Personally not a fan of them, bit too 'flat' for me, but many more besides me love them. Think you'd need to drop it almost euro style to pull it off though

[Mark]

Needs to be lower for those..

[moffat]

i actually like that alot

[bmw156]

that is THE sex.

fact

[craig green]

Looks OK, but I know they dont fit & so for that reason I can't like them on the car as much as I like the wheels themselves. Does that make sense?

[Southie]

One of my favourite alloys, sadly on a hatch Nova they don't fit and look too high unless your wanting to butcher your arches.

They look better on Saloons TBH.

[Balley]

Lower at the back, looks great otherwise :)

[Rysee]

Not a fan, to run them you'll have to keep it high at the back and that's a tad gay. body coloured Revos with a crome lip would look better IMO

[GroupB]

I think they are marmite wheels!
You either love them or hate them.
Can't make my mind up, they look odd in the arches. Sorry!
I think wheels are a very personal choice though.

[craig green]

I think wheels are a very personal choice though.

Thats kinda true, though how many cars roll on wheels that blatantly dont suit them. It's about having something that suits the car, not what the customer likes in the showroom.

[G-nova]

love it mate really want a set for mine needs to be lower though

[Southie]

Also I don't think they suit your car because is yellow, look best against black red well any other colour tbh lol

[Sloth]

hai there gorgeous!!!!

[MK999]

Not a fan, to run them you'll have to keep it high at the back and that's a tad gay. body coloured Revos with a crome lip would look better IMO

This man talks sense.

[Stoo]

Cant see pics, what are they?

[mayhem]

stop crying.. mod the arches and give it an 80 drop.

all this et49 crap..

these look like the et38 version? with 175-50?

there's also a 165-45-15....

[Royston]

I like the wheels themselves, but the combination of Wide/wrong offset will lead to trouble (wheel bearings, vehicle handling, etc)

I also do not like the stretched look personally, and as an engineer think tyres fitted in this way are an accident waiting to happen:eek:

[mayhem]

lol

it's not like he's fitting 15j... bearings dont mind, and the tyres don't mind.

btw, if opel really didnt trust bearings.. why does an ascona/manta i400 has oem 9 and 11j wheels? lol

[Edd]

Awesome wheels IMO

If you don't want to ruin your rear arches you'll have to mod the rear beam like I'm going to for them to fit

[Pistol Pete]

Cant see pics, what are they?

Ronal Turbos on a mustard yellow mk1.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/21/article-1229702-00D756E700000578-218_468x302.jpg

The man from Del Monte says yes!

I nearly bought some of these for mine, but Porsche wheels came up cheap!

As Mayhem says, sort your rear arches, lower it slightly and enjoy!

[dj_wudgey]

i wanted some lronal turbo's for my nova but didnt want to have to mod her but they look f*cking awesome though fella!!!

[Jack]

I like the wheel, but not sure they suit a hatchback application. Not keen on the tyres either. Mind you, would look better with the rear end down lower.

Ronals suit saloons the best though... as Floydy proves:

[Benn]

I think they look awesome, but the rears need to be closer in so it can be lower.

I'd buy them and have them machined down a bit.

Tuck every time over poke.

[claire6069]

i hate these wheels, cant see the fascination with them, however, if you dont have them, i bet ste will, he thinks they're like sex lol

[Derick-Sport]

they look foookin ace on your car deffo keep them and lower the back end a touch so it doesnt look like a hot rod :)

[Cle]

If you dont put the ronals on im going to neg rep you as much as i can :) lol

easily my favorite wheel

[Cassidy16v]

Looks good needs dropping more tho at the back end, as others have commented mate

[MK999]

easily my favorite wheel

:cool:

[davidfox280585]

looks awesome id def trade my speedlines for a set of them all day!!!!!!!!!!

[mayhem]

i hate these wheels, cant see the fascination with them, however, if you dont have them, i bet ste will, he thinks they're like sex lol

so are ronal turbo's great, or are you... not so good?lol

[craig green]

I wouldnt ruin the back arch lips for a set of wheels that are 'in' right now.

They might be legendary, but they are also having their time again. Don't do it!

[bakerznova]

need to go bit lower on back then :thumb:

[Rysee]

Exactly, A mustard SR will always be sought after, low offset "Euro" wheels may not be

[bazil]

me no like, certainly a nice wheel but better on a loon, it seams to suit the arches on a loon better due to the shape.

[Nova_Tek]

Not bad but the rear needs to sit a tad lower.

^ what wheels are they?

[nova_saloon]

One of my favourite alloys, sadly on a hatch Nova they don't fit and look too high unless your wanting to butcher your arches.

See thats what i said to the guy, if i had a saloon i would of bought them straight up


Looks OK, but I know they dont fit & so for that reason I can't like them on the car as much as I like the wheels themselves. Does that make sense?

that does make sense dont worry.

I agree with a lot of the comments, they do look a bit funny in the arches, and they do need to be flared, but i am not ruining a good sr just for a trend, i just put them on to see what people think, it may be a no go but there beign sold for £250 which isnt bad, need two new front tyres however. the wheel sticks a good amount proud of the front arch i must say and it does need to be lower at the back, i said that when i stuck them on, which i will be doing, but still not sure on the wheels.

[Jack]

^ what wheels are they?
Volk TE-37. Very very nice lightweight wheel.

Nom nom nom nom

[nova_saloon]

:cool:

hmm yes very good, wonder what they would be like on it, whos photoshopping this this evening

[Nova_Tek]

Wouldn't mind these on my Nova but they only come in 18"+ bt the looks of things :(

http://www.ts-alurad.de/artikel/bbslemans.jpg

[nova_saloon]

fit them anyway lol. ive seen big ass wheel on a nova before, think they may of been 17's but its on here, he owns a turbo and his own unit where he keeps it

[Nova_Tek]

Naaa it'll just look like it's on stilts. Need to find something very similar but 15/16 inch.

[Jack]

I think the problem with split rims like that is anything under 17" and you start running out of room for the spokes, so they look a little squashed :(

[Nova_Tek]

yeah probably. But they are a very nice rim and would probably look well on the Nova. Oh well, the search will continue.

[Southie]

I've always like these.

[Edd]

[MK999]

[dj_wudgey]

for £250 id buy them and save them for another car lol but i very much agree with not ruining a sr for a trend i wanted them on mine as i said untill i realised it'd need arch work ect ect to get them on!!

[mayhem]

there 425 euro new (no tyres).. so ?250 is a normal price with 2 bold tyres.

[MK999]

there 425 euro new (no tyres).. so ?250 is a normal price with 2 bold tyres.

But no one over here actually buys them new really, so a lot of the time you can ask what you like for them as some mug will pay it lol

[Matty Winslade]

I absolutley love them wheels , i used to want a set of them but found out they dont fit properly :( , They look beaut on loons and yours doesnt nececarrily look bad but could do with being lower mate which isnt an option if youd like to maintain them lovley mustard arches !!:thumb:

[mayhem]

But no one over here actually buys them new really, so a lot of the time you can ask what you like for them as some mug will pay it lol

lol i know.

i bought mine for 400 euro, with 4 good tyres (175-50-15 fronts and 195-45-15 rears) and now i've got a kid wanting to buy them for 500, with 2 worn front tyres lol

[dj_wudgey]

any news what your doing then mate?? i wouldnt mind having them for a saloon or a m2 or 3 astra slammed to funk!! but get them then if you get another vauxhall as a run around it could be a cool as f*ck runaround lol

[nova_saloon]

no, no news, dont have the money to be buying trinkets. al though it is tempting. i think i like the gsi wheels i got, just need them painted up properly really nice or something not sure what like though, hard to think. got to update my thread, possibly picture less but i have been treating her to all new bits. omnom!

[GeorgePayne92]

looks pretty smart as it is (Y)

[dj_wudgey]

i think its looks smart as it is aswell use the wheels you got or some grey cavy slabs would look smart aswell!! and we need to see all these new bits pics pics lol

[nova_saloon]

lol there not to amazing, but they really have made such a difference, will get pictures for shiz! there not really that amazing either, but as said the diffenerce was pleaseing

[dj_wudgey]

mate you could get some cavy expresion rims aswell they would look well cool on this aswell mate!!

[Dod]

I think you wanna move up a tyre profile size and you need to go a lot lower. After that you're onto a WIN.

[dj_wudgey]

i dont think he's getting them dod although they do look sweet!!

[nova_saloon]

yeh they do, i just have the monies for it

[Yorkie]

I think the wheels look lush! althought they suit saloons more i think you could pull it off as it still looks good. Would need the back of your car lowering on to them a bit though. Also they are quite wide and if you kept them and did lower your car would suggest widening the arches to make sure they fit. But then im not a fan of widend arches lol

[corsav6]

i thin there amazing..if you dont have them i will ;)

would be worthwile on a base model not on a sr imo!!

[svlet]

i think they look great and id be putting them on

[reevie1987]

looking good mate
