Hello folks need some info? Am restoring a mk2 redtop nova and have spent two week online looking for the right wheels,i dont wont the same 16" speedlines every body goes for as thay do look tydy but every nova has them now.I thought of 16" soft stars but they seem to be like rockinghorse ****e to get hold of,has anyone got any vauxhall 4 stud oem wheels in mind that will look nice on the nova ether 15's or 16's or 16" steelys.I have just been going throo google images but its all the same ****, cavy slabs i like but they all look like they will scuff,would fitting 165/45's to them make a diffrence please help me nova lovers haha
5 stud and vec super touring wheels (6 spoke ones) unsure on there et though,
or maybe the Vectra sri wheels, available in 4 stud but mainly 5.
Sheeplines FTW lol

Restoring? Does that not mean you would want standard wheels?
If not then it really depends on the style of the car. If its a road car with carpets and a heater then the normal Scenelines or Softstars would work.
But if its more track biased I'd look for some Sparco Cromodoras or early snow spec Compomotive TH's if I wanted it to stand out.

stick with something from a Vaux in my opinion. best fit and keeps the look more classic.
what brakes are you running, 288mm ?
im not a fan of big wheels, but your going to probably want 15" to squeeze over some decent brakes.
