Lol I have a Bedford Rascal as a work van for the time being, I would like to know seeing as its basically a Vauxhall, Will I be able to put Vauxhall 4 stud pattern alloys on it?
I know you probably think its highly ammusing but once Ive pimped it I will post it on here!

Im not planning 17's! Probably Nova GSi alloys. Lol.

Doubt 15's would be an option! 14's are close! Lol. Its gonna look as cool as it possibly can! Sooty & sweep here I come. Twin carbed Rascal??? Lol.

Just think it would look alittle tidier, The Rascal van wheels are insecure!!!!

No chavved up, But otherwise I will have no use but to have spinner hub caps! Lmao

O dear u put spinner hub caps on it and i think u should be banned :lol:
Forget hw small the wheel wells are on them its just i don't think 3 spokes would suit it wat abt astra gte wheels?

Lol, Again Astra GTE alloys are there 15's. If I cant get alloys then spinner hub caps are the way to go. Its just for work so I will be driving it all day! Gotta have some personal touches!

Im sure Astra GTE wheels are 14" arent they?
I wonder if u can lower it?
Some novaload grafix would look cool

No they are 15's, Wouldnt be able to clear the calipers if they were any smaller!
Funny thing is I should imagine the rascal uses around the same suspension components as the Nova, So could probably get a cheap
G-max kit on it! Lol, But No that will not happen. Just some cheap alloys will do.

No they are 14"s rem a nova 1.2 had them on just looked now 14".
Has it got leaf springs at the back?
What about astra lxi rims off the mark 3s?

Lxi rims off a mk2 or mark 3 are 14's so they would be ok, In fact thats probably the rims I would put on now you mentionned it :wink:
But GTE rims are 15's.

lol was watching the pimp my ride marathon yesterday and they pimped up a little diahatsu highfly (or summat like that) van
i was laughing for ages at the stupid gay wing it had on it :lol:

Lol, Ive seen that Diahatsu thing too, Its got massive pathetic rims!

Thanks for the support guys, Im definately feeling the idea of white GTE alloys. Anyone got a set???? 8)

Gotta get the head gasket done on it, Been told ?350! I think me & my mate will end up doin it! But I got it for free, No visible rust-Like Novas- arches & doors are prime areas, Its a J-plate so I cant complain, Plus its had a half decent respray & has nearly a years MOT! cant complain!

Im gona tint the windows though! I think a digi dash would go in too. & id like some GSi front seats.
