I put my steel wheels on today to see if the bigger tyre wall is more forgiving on a low drop - it is! I don't know what I prefer more though - maybe the steels will grow on me....

When it stops raining I am going to wind the suspension to the bottom to see what that is like :)

Steels on a very dirty un-polished daily

They are 14 on a 175/65/14 tyre jimbob

It's odd - I prefer the way the slabs look on the rear but prefer the steels on the front :confused:

Slabs, but if it were 15" steels I'd be all over them instead. The std SR steels are too narrow imo.

these are 15" steels running 185/60 tyres .....they weigh a absolute ton!! so I wouldn't recommend them

Slabs are the heaviest wheels ever but somehow suit a nova, tbh the SR rims look best and handling on standard shockers might be better.

They look shocking though, blatantly look like steelies that are cheap to me.

There standard Corsa items for trims prob super cheap to knock up and I'm not the biggest fan ether but they serve a purpose and they have grown on me
