I would like this wheels but it won't fit the nova :( what's the widest wheels that can be fitted? Does anyone know whether or not these can be made to smaller sizes etc?

Call compomotive direct mate. They are decent enough to deal with. Just let them know what you want and they make it to suit.
IIRC it took 5 - 6 weeks to make the last set i bought direct from them.

Just bought a set myself by dealing with company direct.. I did try to run a group buy a while back but had no interest. Took about 2 weeks, for me. Ive only gone for 5.5J x 14's though.

Thanks guys :) both repped! I'll get in contact with them see what they can do for me. Can anyone tell me, what's the widest I can go?

I don't suppose you have any pics of them fitted peester?

Im sure its only 6j or 6.5j mate someone else should be able to let you know soon mate.
Tbh i didnt know anything about the wheels when i ordered. Just told them what car/year etc and they told me what would fit;)

Ah right cheers David. I should probably mention Im not bothered if they stick out the front arches or not as it'll be for drag racing. I'll get 2 different sets for the front so I can use a set in the road also. Hope that makes sense

Car is currently on stands in the garage bazza. But as soon as its sorted I will have.
They wont look quite like the TH-mono that rimstyle seem to have commissioned from Compomotive though.
Wouldn't go wider than a 6J, personally.

Do they charge much more when they do these custom casting?

Have to say I like the MOs but both look good and comps are so strong you'd want to hit a brick wall to damage them

I don't think so, though they weren't cheap as such. The wheels were kept in stock blank, just drilled/machined to customers specs. All's it does is add a little time.
Conveniently Compomotive allow a 50/50 payment.

You can pretty much go up to a 7J without insane work

sorry yeah - I only enquired about the TH1455 (14", 5.5J) Just call up and ask what they can do.
I took a pic of a wheel yesterday, still on stands..
