i was pondering at work over the idea of getting a set of 15" steelies off a renault or similar (lower offset) and chroming them and a set of 50/45 profile tyres??

with the car lowered i reckon it'd be different and kinda nice lookin

would look kinda similar to ranal turbo's?

ideas?

I think u should be shot for having the word novaload imposed on a burberry background....

Steelies are steelies though, they'd never look at good as alloys.

Why would you want a lower offset? Have you got a wide arch kit?

on some old classic cars it looks ok, but I doubt it would look very good on a nova..
