Mim alloy

[NathanSRi]

Wasn't sure where to put this thread but here goes..

On my nova when i got it it had a set of alloys on it that i though were Nova Luxe+ alloys, but when I had them on, they rubbed on the rear arches which made me think they weren't vauxhall alloys.
When i took them off and had a closer look they're Mim alloys. I've heard of Mim before but never seen alloys like this. They all have 1300 on them, which i guess is the model of wheel.

Has anyone seen them before and know anything about them because i can't find anything on the internet which leads me to think they're quite rare.

Here's a picture of them on my SR:

they are mim 1300's but people dont really know them as this so there is limited info on the net about them.
about 5 mins on google gave me this info

[NathanSRi]

Gay, I would hope.

if you have nothing to say, dont say it at all.

and as bailey said.

they are called MIM1300s - there are also MIM1800's which are bigger in size.

no idea what they are know as, there not a massively special size of offset so people wont be desperate for them lol.

This is good advice, as you look like a prick standing with your mouth open attempting to say nothing.

Calm down lol If you re-read what you posted, I believe you missed out the word "good" which was just too tempting for the forum banter. :p

Congratulations on having a friend though.
