Speedline Alesios

[bad_boy_nova]

Is there only one kind of Speedline Alesios? Or is there different kinds of alesios (e.g. alesio 1's and alesio 2's?) If there is any difference, what is it? Cheers

[Aamir]

These was an Alessio 1, but it's ugly. It has the 4 stud holes showing,
there is no centre cap, it came otional as a studded split rim version, but trust me, they're awful. Don't think they came in a 49mm offset though.

They were factory optional extras on the Mazda MX5 in 14"
& to the Mazda 323 16"/17"

The Alessio 2 is a work of art, they covered up to
fixing holes with a contoured centre cap, they gave us
the 49mm offset & 6.5" width - perfect fit for the Nova.

BTW - Excellent Car mate, don't spoil it !

[bad_boy_nova]

Cheers mate! I was just checking up on those wheels. Its defonately the alesio 2's that im going to get!!

[Ste_Nova]

[Ben (lurk75)]

[Mark]

Yes Ben, a very nice choice!!

Yeah whatever happened to me swapping them with you? I know there gone now but still????

The Alessio 2 is a work of art

I totally agree.. There is no better wheel for a stuble Nova, i agree that compmotives are very nice too, but when i see a Nova with speedlines it seems to really stand out, as if someone really designed them JUST for Novas!

Even tho they are very common, i still wouldnt change them for anything. Altho i'm putting softstars on my white Nova when i have the cash!

Brother, you are so right !!!

[Ben (lurk75)]

When i see a car with a kingdom bodykit, i think it stands out, but it looks sh*te.

Not saying allesio's arent nice just not worth all the hype, there are so many around they are like a optional extra.

[Rick Draper]

I personally would not waste ?800 on a set of speedlines and tyres just to have my nova look like every other nova. Rick

[krobinson]

Hard to be different and still look good with your choice of wheels. Speedlines suit the Nova, sure there common, but i wouldnt put on a worse looking set of wheels just to be different!

I like the Dare's on your Nova, but there's 2 of them in my area with them, one with 16's and one with 17's. But there's only one other Nova with speedlines!

Unless you design them yourself i dont think you'll ever be different forever when it comes to wheels!

Keith

[Ben (lurk75)]

Its not all about wheels anyhow.

The allsieos look good on a lot of Nova's but not all.

I actually like them on your car Keith but they go well with the height of the car etc.

But there are definately Nova's out there that look odd with them on.

[krobinson]

Very true, there's one in Belfast with a Bat Motorsport front, Fusion rear and Novadose skirts, with a shopping trolley spoiler!

Its got speedlines and they looks tiny and out of place!

[Aamir]

I think the Speedline Mistral's would be a good alternative,
similar style to the Alessio 2's & available in 17" !
Prob look better on Mk1 Nova as the spoke are slightly more angular

[Nova-Flair]

dont they do mistrals in 15" too? can u still get these?

i love the speedlines but for the money i would rather have sum compomotives. both wheels suit the nova (well relatively standard/subtle styled ones n e way)

keith they look the fcukin dogs on urs m8! hows that coming along n e way???

[Ben (lurk75)]

I have 15" mistrals but want compomotive MO's, have done for years but wont pay the money they want for them, i have had some but they were the wrong colour, should have just painted them.

That green car was one of the ugly ones with allesios i was refering too.

[Nova-Flair]

the compomotives come in silver too dont they???? wouldnt mind white ones but they would show up every single bit of brake dust

[Ste_Nova]

Yeah whatever happened to me swapping them with you? I know there gone now but still????

there not gone... they are refinished in dark grey and sat in my bedroom

[Ben (lurk75)]

www.motorsportdirect.co.uk go to nova/corsa then click on wheels, he sells the compomotive MO's TH2's TH3's the AT's etc etc.

[Rick Draper]

My Dares are now different to any other set of V1's on a nova. Rick

[brian]

[rallyslag]

Corsanova:

[brian]

[Mark]

[brian]

:?

[Mark]

O.k, I think I have given Brian a bad enough time, so I'll leave it to Ben to do. :D

[bad_boy_nova]

Well, this has turned out to be a long post seeing as i only asked a simple question about speedline alesios. While we are on this topic, is anyone selling a set of speedline alesio 2's, or know of anyone selling any? Cheers

[brian]

if ya want to buy new try www.wheel-base.co.uk even though sometimes they are "not being made anymore" we bought 2 sets off them a few months back and got a good deal off them.

[Rick Draper]

I got a set of wheel base about 3 years ago on the pretence that they were going to be stopped been made and this was there last shipment of them. This seems to have been going on with them for a long time and TBH i recon its a load of bollocks and they cud be done for false advertising. PVD also advertise them and some clubs get a discount with them. Rick

[shanemc]

brian is that your green nova?mint looking motor

[brian]

yep thats mine. going to trax from Ireland in it.

[Ben (lurk75)]

Im after a set now :roll:

[shanemc]

im from ireland myself,hoping to buy or build a valver soon.if i can get a clean gsi with a tired engine ill build,but normally with novas its the other way round,the engines are normally the last to give up
