I'm wondering how it will work to put 12-13"speedlines, with low-profile tyres on a Nova...

And most of all how it'll look?? (any pictures of this...?)

I haven't checked exactly witch tyre dimensions you can get in 12-13", but I guess the speedlines don't handle too deep tyres very well...

I'm thinking of eurostyle-speedlines :D

you can get 205 50 13's 8) most tyre manufacuers do them, best would probably be nankang(cheap and made buy yokohama!)

Holy crap!..that would look.......ehmm, special?

I think you might also go very looow with that dimension on speedlines.

The handling of the car might perhaps be like crap, but it would look sweet
:D

It makes me sad to see those german eurostyled novas, with alloys that needs rolled arches...it doesn't look good at all!

So my thought is why not lower the nova and put on small speedlines, instead of 12-13 alloys with wrong offset that needs rolled arches to fit!

only size i've seen them in is 16"

i don't think you can - Plus they would look disgusting really small as the design would be all too squashed

yeah, perhaps it would look a bit...girly?

Is there really any alloys in 12-13" that suits a really lowered Nova?

Revoulution used to be able to make their split-rims in funny sizes like that, and the best thing about splitties is you can have whatever offset you like.

Speedline allesios came in 16". And a few 17" 5 stud sets were mate.

Remember speedline is a make, allesio is the wheel. Speedline make a few nice other wheels.

pff Mistral is the poor-man's alessio 2.

They are also slags, cos are available in 15, 16 and 17", whereas the allessio was only available in 16. :D

there is also minilights and alleycats who do 13's and revoloution do too as already said,

my old MK2 RS2000 used to have 205/50/13's on it and that handled very very well :twisted:

Could use spacers, if it didn't look too stupid, to make some more room in between :lol:

It's all a choice of priority and dare to look different...
