Every one seems to be going dark with the colour of their wheels this year, so i want something a bit different, i know they are fairly old and it has been done already, but i wants some turbo's.

Where can I get them from and at what sort of price. Feel free to pm me...

Yeah Epo your right, They are on alot of Golfs & Polos round my area, But my mate had his arches done to accomodate the offset. Nasty rubbing otherwise.

Right, looked at those sits, so 560 with a brand name set of tyres would be a good price? and im guessing i would need arch work as someone has said? And yes, breenys did have ronal, kinda where i got the idea from... I just think they look stunning on nova's.

they'd look stunning on a nissan bluebird mate. but they'll stick out the arches like boner - if it was easy fit, for ?560 notes we'd all be wearing them on our novs. big respect if u do get em on though.. be the best thing on ur car -whatever else u ended up doin to it.

ronals are the best, ofset can be machined to a slightly closer to vaux offset.

I thought Breeny's wheels were Compomotive TH's?

mate of mine has got them o his corsa, offset et37 and they done rub 40mm down and only mod's he done were ground the arch bolts down.

TonySR is right breeny's wheels are not ronal turbos they are compomotive TH's 15" et49 sprayed anthrecite and diamond cut.

and the bastards at compomotive thought it was a great idea to discontinue the TH range, and its now only avail in 13" :(

They're still widely available in both 13" and 14"

Prefer the Mo and TH2 (TH2 is avilable up to 16") myself though to be honest.

Edit: my bad, TH2 is up to 18"

Have you considered Clio 16V alloys, 15", ET42 so will go on a Nova without too much work; not too disimilar to Ronals either:

Not this post again!

Christ those pics were taken yonks ago... lol

I tried the Ronals on mine, but it just involved too much arch work for the car to be used "properly"

And no you can't machine the wheels down, you can only take a few mm from the hub of the wheel before it starts affecting the strength of the wheel. I looked into this also.

that must juts be rohnals then cos ive seen more than 10mm taken off the hub of a TSW wheel to make it fit a different car. the centres looked the same as my fox wheels too so i dont see a problem in getting it done.

but to be fare, stretched tyres on wide wheels will never look good on a nova, they have square arches so wheels look better tucked up under them. leave the wide stuff to the golf and fiesta boys
