are you keeping the front wings or you going to change them as i think it would look cool if it had more door/ salloon arches all round

stelf2.0nova
06-12-11, 05:35 PM

Wheels look sweet wil they tuck in the arch at all?

Is there a way you can fill/cover the window groove from the back to make it look like it never had a window there?

I love that Mini wheels! Are they exist in 4x100 or do you have any modification or it can fit with wobble bolts?

stelf2.0nova
18-04-12, 04:45 PM
They are 4x100 exact just need the middle spacer so it lines up on the hub tight.

I wanted to keep all the lines for a bit off character and plus once the lid is on u can't see it.

Thanks for all the comments people

Any one interested in 3 13x8 mini wheels as they don't fit over 2l brakes but ok on any thing smaller. I am really gutted that I ant going to b using these but they just don't fit the front.

£150. You will need to buy the fourth alloy which are £86 on eBay as i do have the tyre which is like brand new.

What's the offset on the wheels?

The off set is 4x100 and the hub hole is slightly bigger than vauxhall but fit straight on a nova / corsa

Thanks fella yer wanted to b a bit different and try some thing else.

maddogdaz666
12-06-12, 09:21 PM
4x100 is the pcd, the offset starts with ET its how far the wheels sit in or out of the arch. Vauxhalls normally ET49 but te wheels I currently have on my loon are ET28 so they sit close to the arch

stelf2.0nova
12-06-12, 09:31 PM
Ahh ok I will have look and let u no. Loon looks cool tho. Is it taxed exempt

Really like this, it looks superb... I'd like to see a colour coded rear instead of the chequer plating though, I've always thought it looked a little tacky somehow. Still think it looks the part though :cool:

stelf2.0nova
06-07-12, 09:41 PM
I was planning that but I think it just needs that some thing to break it down and a bit of stainless alloy is the one.
