speedline alesio's

i've come across these alloys so many times on nova's, whats so special about them?

Looks or handling?

Anyone seen OZ Super T's on a nova, what do they look like on a nova?

[Ste_Nova]

they are the wheels vauxhall should have fitted on the gsi's from the factory..... perfect width... and 49mm offset

here is my old car with super t's (16in)

bloody nice cars man,

did u have to modify your arches at all for the super t's or alesio's
and which handle better?

[ollster]

lol i think the arches on his first car are slightly modded :roll:

[so1o]

lmao, i noticed that..........lol

just wondering, so any clues?

[mikeoxford]

what die arch kit is that?

[Ste_Nova]

Rally X kit.... as fitted to lancys car

[brian]

Mike, the wide arch kit is a made to order kit by Pro-Tec motorsport.
i bought all the wide track kit from them also.
Its a very rough kit and took a lot of work to get it right, i won't be doing one again for a while!
That car is being prep'd for rallying now by its new owner!

[brian]

forgot to mention, go for the Alesio's cos they are et49 and perfect in width.

[asha_G]

allessio's look well nice and there a 49 offset,perferct wheel 4 nova's,no rub or anythin.ive got 16" super t's 4 my sr and they look mint,im lookin 4 allessio's cause i want a change and because there a 49 offset.

[Craig SR]

I WANT THAT GREEN NOVA!!!! drool 8) 8)

How much do Alesio's cost then? Whats the best size to get? Are 15" ok? Or are 16" better?

Any mod needed to the arches of a 1.4SR?

[brian]

thanks for the comment on the car craig.
the wheels only come in 16" by 6.5" wide and go on without any arch mod. this is because the whe wheels were designed specifically for Novas.
they range in price depending on what tyres you get. top of the range is 800stg and go as low as 650 or so.
I recommend you buy from wheel base.
:wink: We bought two sets from them last month and got an excellent deal.

[Craig SR]

Cool, not too bad then might have to treat myself for my upcoming birthday!

How will an increase from 14" to 16" affect the handling and ride? ie better turn in but worse ride quality? What about the rolling circumference/resistance or whatever (excuse my ignorance) will they cost me acceleration?

What sort of lowering is best suited? About 30mm? Not interested in "slamming" the car i want it to handle properly not like is does now as if theres treacle instead of spings down there......

[brian]

well obviously they will slow the car slightly :cry: but i don't mind for the little they take away. won't make it a rougher ride or anything.
you might as well drop it 60mm because for the best setup you shouldn't use any bigger than 15" anyway so won't matter!

[Craig SR]

Surely dropping 60mm would trash the ride though? Dont want to do this really as the roads round here are v bumpy and theres lots of speedbumbs too. SHould i just stick with the 14" then :cry:

Besides i'm getting ahead of myself here more important things to do with the car first!!!

[brian]

i live in Ireland!! we have very few good roads like over there and mine is dropped 60!
My last car was on full Gp A suspension and fully rosejointed and was bearable
