initially to go on the e30 so i can take off my MIMs and get them looking sexual lol. although i might polish the lips and paint the centres...any thoughts on what colour? (not bright inyourfacelookatmeinatwunt colours)

and then then the MIMs are done...these will go on the nova lol

They're ok on the right car but can't see it on a Nova imo. Such a shame most of the uber sexy BBS rims are Nova unfriendly :(

Surely with 3 piece split rims. Cant you just change the offset by changing the rim piece lengths?

I did think about that infact.

It wouldnt be cheap mind, but you should be able to gain the right clearance and offset you need for it to be nova friendly. Unless its late and i am being a stupid tw4t.

ive cut the back off and welded the back doors up lol lol its not a conventional nova. although i get very picky with wheels so if i dont like them they will just be temp ones till i find the ones i like.

and bbs ones you just change the barrels to make them the right offset :p of flip the middle round and run the barrels back to front lol

As above, they look gash at the mo, paint the centers black and polish up the rims and they may look better lol

I may have to mix and match them to make them fit but it may get a bit expensive :(
