Never been a fan tbh but they do suit some novas really well, would never be my choice though :)

gayest most over used wheel on a vauxhall i wood say every sheep with a xe and gsi kit has them or has had them on
Voted NO
Done to death
Don't look that good
Look terrible on a mk1
If I retuned to the dark side of mk2's again I'd have a set of SoftStars

I still like them but would only own a set if I owned a MK2 tbh.

As boring as standard steels imo
Where's the "not bothered" option lol
Not a bad wheel, but not one I'd personally choose for a Nova. Not as common as they used to be though, I mean how many Novas do you see posted on here these days (as in, still alive today) that have them fitted? Sure, back in the late 90s/early 2000's they were on just about every Nova, but thats changed. Everyone harps on about how the Speedline/GSi kit is sooooo common, but tbh there's probably more Cesaro/SR styled cars out there now. Give it 5 or so years and people will start hating that setup lol
I'm more of a multispoke fan these days anyway.
If we talking about the Clio Speedline ;)

Also want this, or a "Which speedlines?" option, nearly as bad as the term 'redtop'. lol
My speedlines are multi spoke :)

I currently have 2 sets, nicest rim for a Nova in my opinion, popular for a very good reason!
I also love them, all my favorite Novas have/had them, i have two sets, one anthrecite (sp) and one silver, most people have had a set. I like the look and the fact they fit even when super low

Nothing wrong with them. I've a set for the nova which are now on the astra.... So I'll have to buy another set for the nova when it's done. And I think the chances of seeing a nova, never mind one with speedlines is getting slimmer every day, so meh!
Edit - look ****e on mk1's.
Done to death, but still look stunning on (mk2) novas
IMO of course. Ps bought a set last week so my opinion is probably biast
Me i love them

On a Nova website, its a pretty safe bet "speedlines" = "alessio 2's" lol

Done to death. I dont hate them, but i would not rush out and buy a set either!!
The lesser known ones get my vote, mistrals etc.
what about a comp mo's option? mmmmm mo's. lol
As with Speedlines I suppose it depends on the car! Love MO's on a Sport, but to me a "rally" wheel doesn't look right on an otherwise standard/lowered GSi......
Much the same reason I'd never even dream of putting Speedlines on the Sport.
I rather roll on steelies

Definitely the nicest wheels for a Nova, look best on the MK2's. :thumb:

even suit combos

they look better on a comba then on a nova.
there's only 1 nova i really like with speedlines, that's lee's turbo.

I like them but think are bit to common now and dont think i would rush to get a set now
i Have a few sets and wouldnt use anything else on my mk2s, ive never got the comps tbh so each to there own eh lol
In my opinion the allesio without doubt is the best suited wheel to a mk2 nova and they are "common" for that reason. But If your honest when it comes to novas what has'nt been done time and time again over the years!;)
Nick.
Think they suit my car, was the second mod I did back in the day after lowering it and never wanted to change the wheels for anything else.
Typical boring Speedlines, Gsi kit and big block combo for me I guess!
They are popular for a reason.They make the mk2 Vauxhall Nova.End of.

yawn imo.
there like a whore,theyve been done to death but we still love em lol
Well I've had a set for oooh about 12 years now lol Done to death they may be but they do work. Agree with the comments about rally type wheels on the sport/mk1 though.
I really liked Azev A's back in the day but they just don't suit the Nova at all
there iconic wheels on any vauxhall so they will always be liked,
As said i wouldnt rush for a set but if some appeared at a good price i would buy them

I think speedlines really suit my mk1, wouldn't look better on any other wheel IMO :cool:

i just love mk1s im soo glad i kept mine.
i want a combo
Me too, with a z20let
I like them, but in all the years of nova ownership i've never had the desire to own a set. Look good on the right car imo (see red mk1 above)
