Cheers people,.. i quite like the wheels, there different..havnt seen them on a nova before, but each to there own =] also forgot to mention shes had a brand set of headlights, shes set at 40mm, would you leave her as she is or go for 60? Wouldnt want her any lower than that, Shes a cracking motor, which makes me one very happy Rach =]

astra mk1 sr wheels; a mate had a set on a nova GTE once.. i think they look the biz. Whole car looks nice; done right, best colour.
Very jealous.

Aye i was at the meet,..and cheers people, im now thinkin either a set of steels with the white trims, they have a fat cross shape on them with a red griffin in the middle, not sure what there from, if that made any sense at all lol or a set of astra gte rims in white? Hmm =] the astra mk1 sr wheels, are they the same as the opels i have on now, or different ?

I like this allot, very very nice, wheels look good, maybe need lower profile tyres? and at least 60mm lowering IMO.
The wheel trims your on about were on some of the later mk1's and on mk2's 13inch wheel trims, might still be able to get them from vauxhallgreen spares, Astra mk2 GTE wheels would be nice though.

lower rpofile tyres are defo the next plan, i like the opels on her now as there different, yet a like the gte rims as there nice and tidy, also the whitew trims as there more standerd/old skool, Im not sure which road to go down, wheel wise now haha..ill decided eventually =D, thanks for your views/comments =)

Mk2 Astra GTE wheels are always a winner in my opinion....although what I think would really suit it is a setof Nova SR/GTE 3 spoke alloys :)

aye theres always the 3 spokes, All these options, how do i choose lol, cheers for the heads up car/wheel wise, defo gonna have a good think over the weekend :)
