have a look at these rims, have a better picture if you like them

rather unusual , and unique for a nova (see them alot on other cars tho)

ET 45 so they don't scrub, ?450 with yokohama's which is a good price for 15's, can get bigger tho.

oh crap, i forgot to say

They are MVK 3's. just the same as the Oxygin wheels, but about 1/2 the price, and not as wide , so they don't scrub!

i think they look mint personnaly

they do look quite nice ! can you get them in shadow black or a similar colour ?

Nick

erm they are shadow chrome, but they are more of a silvery colour really.

i personally hate shadow chrome, all it is is the wheels are painted black then oversprayed in a chrome finish, hence having black "highlights" if u will.

just get them resrpayed for like ?20 a wheel if your serious about them !

Yep they are cheap, untilll u bend one of them and can't buy a new one

happened to me, not with those wheels exactly, but a very similar 5spoke fox design.

that's why i got mine, because they aren't being discontinued in the forseable future, most wheel makes, such as BK racing and especially all this Wolfrace/asiatech/eurosport/excite crap are just unbranded contaner ships of wheels that they have no real idea of persuing as long term models hence, that's why my local motorsport shop refuses to deal with them

beware

Dude, your thinking far too much into it, why would you 'bend' an alloy? and at that price, who cares!

Dan, you can bend a wheel easily

I bent two of my fox wheels, once going round a blind corner and there was a rock that'd fallen down the banking and i couldn't swerve to miss it because of an oncoming car

and the other time a twat of a trucker had lost some rocks from his truck (obv was a quarry veichle) n i hit one of them, bent the other wheel

n no u can't drive with bent wheels, 2 bearings went, my Lefthandside driveshaft is screwed. n when you can't buy another wheel, it's ?400-500 for a new set.
