calibra alloys do they suit a nova?

[Mike.]

I've reserved some calibra alloys at my local scrap yard, do they suit a vauxhall nova style ys and would they fit a nova?

[Philsutton]

i think they can look very good on a nova, just make sure you use some smaller tyres on it though as i think the calibra uses 205 wide tyres, not very nova friendly

[Mike.]

the off set on the wheels are right tho aren't they?

[5_door owner]

yeah i think there spot on m8.

are they the chunky 5spoke uns' (kinda amg style??)

[Mike.]

they are the chunky 5 spoke ones

[Philsutton]

yeah the offset will be fine

[epo]

wow i didnt think that they would look so good on a nova

ut u have changed my opinion all together

[Philsutton]

i do like these wheels on novas, same as the astra GTE quite like them

[smitty5door]

do you have any pics of the vauxhall astra GTE wheels that you was going on about???

[epo]

ive seen sum some where in a post on stylin but not sure where

[Philsutton]

heres a pic of them on a astra

[epo]

look better on nova's with the centre caps removed

[Philsutton]

have to admit they looked nice on mine when i had them

[smitty5door]

are they rare?

[epo]

the off set on the wheels are right tho aren't they?

mine are on fine no rubbin no grinding required on a mk 2 mines lowered 60mm on 195\45\15's tyres

[Philsutton]

about as rare as the nova 3 spokes

[smitty5door]

not very rare then :)

[epo]

shud be able to pick a set up for ?50

[epo]

also just to add to this post i thought calibra alloys were 16's not 15's like mine as mine are off a cav gsi :? :?

[smitty5door]

i thought the wheels looked bigger than 15s when i went to see them
would this make any difference?

[Mike.]

when did u see them smit?

[Mike.]

iff i did go a head and get them and they are 16s can i still lower my car 60mm as that is my plan.

[epo]

i thought the wheels looked bigger than 15s when i went to see them

no providing u use 195\45\16 tyres on it not 100% sure about lowerin it 60mm should be ok like

[nam]

i think they look really good on novas. Mines got astra GTE wheels on it click the link in my sig

[Mike.]

how much do u think calibra wheels should go for?

[epo]

decent set 100-150 notes

mine have also recently bin powder coated

[Mike.]

the scrappy i went to are sellin them for 70 quid and they look like there immaculate with good tyres all round

[nam]

i would buy them then, and if you do liek them then sell em on here

[Mike.]

thats a good idea nam
i'll buy them i've already reserved them because i really need some alloys quikley the steal rims are crap

[smitty5door]

yer i saw them at the same scrappy the are immaculate. if i wer you i would buy them. get em n put em on, then get new pics n post em ere.

[epo]

[smitty5door]

i prefer them to the vauxhall astra GTE one's they will make ya nova really sweet

[kittednova]
