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.

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.

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

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

Hmmmm :roll: :p I love both sets of wheels (hence why i own them :) ) but the comp/speedline debate has been interested very 50/50
but meh i love both 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.

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.

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

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.

hartley
21-01-11, 05:20 PM
there the best wheel choice for a nova especially a Nova Gsi

21-01-11, 05:57 PM
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

21-01-11, 06:38 PM
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!;)

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.

21-01-11, 09:29 PM
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

Plug
21-01-11, 09:32 PM
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 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)
