better than steeleys?

[Anonymous]

ok im sick of running on steeleys so what vauxhall alloys look best on a nova? I have some ideas but cant make up my mind. i am thinking just the gsi 3 spokes will do but if you have any other ideas then let me know. I hate making up my own mind. do cav gsi ones look any good? they will be going on a new shape red and grey sr. cheers 4 ur input.

Cav Gsi rims look good, but I think astra Gsi ones look even better.

hmmm someone @ work here has some tigra alloys.....on her car though...damn got to admin they do look good and would look good on a nova i reckon...they the same offset and all?

[Anonymous]

yeah they go on great but I bet you cant get them off her car without her noticing.

i have some vectra 5 spokes which look good !!!!

[Anonymous]

couldn't you swap the tigra alloys for steelies with similar looking trims on...
a mates mum never noticed that her car hadn't got alloys like the garage said when she bought it - she just thought the black bit behind was part of the design... women are fick like that sometimes - werf a go.

My Cav GSi alloys were ?150 with HUGE 205/55 15 tyres on! I sold those for ?45, then had to get new tyres at ?45 each (not bad for 195/45's) so the total ended up being about ?285....doh! :O

That's the problem you often get with the Cav GSi alloys, 'cos they are fitted with fappin huge rubber as standard, so even if you get 'em with tyres, you'll probably have to get new tyres to make 'em fit.

The Tigra ones come with 185/55 15's as standard, so go straight on. I'm not sure what the Astra GSi ones come with, but they look large...like 195/55's as fitted to other Astra 15" wheels.

Other alternatives are the MKIII Astra CDX wheels (fat 6-spokes...look mint on Novas), and the Sport wheels (nice 8-spoke design, also look mint on Novas). Both of these come with 195/55 R15 tyres, so should be ok on your Nova....may need some arch work, but not much.

Then there's the other MKIII Cav alloys to chose from, such as the late SRi 6-spokes (mint design, where the spokes bend into the rim...smart!), the GLS V6 5-spokes (like a fan-design rather than spokes. Unique to the GLS V6 and do fit on Novas 'cot they're 4-stud!) and there's the late CDX 5-spokes (sharp spoke edges look mint) like fitted to the Red saloon Cabriolet -4-4 HEA (can't see most of reg on my photo!) There's even the cross-spoke 15" inch wheels off the Expression!
All are fitted with 195-60 tyres though, so a bit big on the profile side of things!!! The LS and none V6 GLS use 14" 5-spokes with 175-70 R 14 tyres.

As for Calibra wheels...there's the 5-spokes like mine (same as Cav GSi ones), plus the smart 15" 5-spokes (Pentaline) which are the same as the Tigra ones, but both designs are fitted with 205-55 R 15 tyres, so again, you'd need new tyres to fit!

The Vectra 5-spokes that RobIsGrt18 says he's got also look mint on Novas, but come with fappin' huge 195/65 R 15 tyres as standard.....fooking huge profiles like a Land Rover!! (look mint fitted with 195-50s or 195/45's) These are also fitted on some Tigras, and there's another 5-spoke design on the Tigra, but they're very rare.....a more spiky spoke design (hard to describe!).

Then there's loads of 14" wheels to choose from......

I got my cav GSI wheels for ?100 with 4 195/50/15 yokohama's on them, they rub on the drivers side slightly so u will need to mod the arches a bit.

Ease Yourself Back Into Conciousness !!!!!
