Finally got some tyres sorted for my corsa sxi rims....

its quite unbelievable how much better the nova feels to drive, steering lighter, ride doesn't seem as rough...

think it must be something to do with having the correct offset, well near enough et47, i think they are, much much better than the et40 fox rims i had one before

will have pics tomorrow, bit dark now 8)

i noticed that when i got my speedlines on...................i'd a set of wank 14 inch alloys that originally came off a golf on mine b4...............


when i got my speedlines on.........whey..............different car entirly............far better handling...............greater steering etc etc..............

the offset deffinatly makes a big difference..................i would never mess about with other --unsuitable wheels ever again

Very very nice they are Ste,i say a touch of black on them would be sweet...as for et47 that is the correct Vaux offset,look on the back of any three spoke nova alloys.

cheers, already done chops myself of it lol, in two mind whether to or not..
like both dark and silver...


as for the vinyl, its probably going to be going, due to it needing new doors and and wings, new new rear quarters, got the doors and passenger side wing, would just be easy to leave it with out it

It will look hard as nails with black alloys, vinal and black bumpers, but it's your car. Either way, those wheels really suit the Nova, might have to rob my mates wheels from his corsa sxi, lol.
