Too big IMO, when the wheels look like they barely have any tyre on them then its just odd to my eyes. Like this:

well the tyres look to big to me . thats why there going to get wrapped in 195 40 17 or 185 35 17s .. so u'll going have to prepare your eyes even more. incase you start boking lol

yea ino mate. even worse when the really low but they look good so will keep them on for a good while, ive loads of other wheels so can always swap around loads of times lol

[Pistol Pete]

As much as i think 17's on a Nova look naff, they are the only exception IMO!

Also, how long does it take you to take a picture? lol Matey with the 106 has changed wheels in the time it took you to take pic 1 and 2 lol

[White Nova Man]

doubt it mate . there in my collection of wheels to stay now lol

[pie]

lol

[Alex J]

i like them on it mate, better than 3 spokes IMO

[BRoadGhost]

Those that say a car "won't handle on 17's" haven't done anywhere near the complete re-engineering that the wheel, tyre & grip warrants.

I've had every size on a nova tested for countless miles & there's no looking back.

[blue_peg_16v]

I like the way the saloon handles on the 17s prefer it to 15s that I used to use for drag racing

[John]

My personal opinion is that they would look much better on a mk2. there used to be a gsi in the png of old with them on, will see if i can find a pic. :)

Black one was a feature in max power of it and a black corsa on em

[Spudly]

I think they work really well on a mk1, there was a max pooer featured black mk1 with them on waaay back when wasnt there?

Thats the one Rich!

[blue_peg_16v]

Didn't the plum coloured one off here have them at one point ( guy who also had Gary hopes nova a bit back) can't remember I'd begins with an r

Have the feature bigots in the loft lol

[Southie]

I quite like them but not on a white car, maybe if it was purple or dark green they'd suit it better.

At least you didn't pick 18's, here's an old ps I did a few years back lol

What re-engineering is needed?

i thought that too when i was hunting for a set , when i put them on the SR i thought they looked awesome aswell on mk1s and 2s

i have a picture on a old phone somewhere. it was a black mk1 with GTE bumpers and had a flushed boot and i nearly sure it had clear rears in it aswell:thumb:

wouldnt be a fan of 18'' on a nova lol. and i'd strongly advise anyone that was thinking on it not too lol

[BRoadGhost]

Work to the inner and outer rear arches [turrets], inner and outer front arches, extension of rear beam, modification of bumpers, complete reworking of tie bar setup and having the correct struts / top mounts to achieve that ride height.

Yes your right , reg was UXI**** I think.

Wheels look well btw, something different. :thumb:

[TeddyThom]

IMO they are too big, I think they would look better in 15" personally.

But each to their own :)
