i have to sets of the 13x10s, the ones with the slicks on are basically two nova steels welded together. The others i brought from wellerwheels for about ?30 a wheel.

I used just standard 14" vauxhall steelies on the 16v brakes on my nova and also again when i got the corsa. I didnt need spacers or nuffin, i also know from experience on Wills Sting as we fitted 14" (i think they were sxi steelies) to that.

phil's slick's are too wide for the front of a nova, good idea but didn't work well, can't get enough heat into them. try and get some corsa C / astra G, 15" steels and fit 205*15 slick's on them
