If you can get them on without farting about with arch lips then go for it.

it's not like they can't be removed and prevent you reverting back to the 3 spokes.

Its your car, do what you like - if you like the speedlines crack on. Just because everyone else has them, does it matter? Its your car, build it how you like it

That was how they came, I got them from prodrive years ago and at that time i think they were the sole importer. I did buy the black speedline badges but never got round to changing them. That nova is in bits now.

Mo's are becoming the new speedlines!


big chap called this one right, SPEEDLINES ON YOUR GSI IS'NT A CRIME


Thank you. Do want you want mate but not sure if I'd pay 300 for them without caps! Unless they are as new with real good tyres. Apparently you can buy caps for 35-45 quid but that's still going to take you to 480 plus badges! Then you'd be aswell as getting brand new from wheelbase for around £600 iirc, least you'll know they're not buckled etc

Rota Slipstream would suit a Nova IMO

Speedlines look ace on mk2 novas. IMO there's no doubting that!!

Just because there so common doesn't make them look ****. I'd go for it if I were you, can allways change them if you can't take the aggro from the anti speedline brigade.

The silk violet gsi in this thread is gorgeous, can't say as I've seen a silk violet nova in years!!

Ummmm I want to do my nova in silk violet now.....

Lol you'd think so from looking on here! Ive never been a fan of speedlines, id rather 3 spokes, but thats just me.

Prefer Softstars to speedlines TBH. Proper Speedlines are nice, Mistrals not these common as muck Alessio 2's
