Minilite 15"s

Has anyone got any pics of a Nova on minilite/superlite wheels on a Nova? I have seen plenty of Chevettes rolling around on them, so wheels with the right offset and PCD must be produced without the need for one-offs. I have been told that they are a nice lightweight wheel, I wondered whether this 60s/70s styled wheel would look any good on the Nova.

prob would look good, but minilite's and superlite's are produced with offsets way off which Front wheel drive vauhxall's use. You only have to look at the dish to know it would'nt do on a std nova. Rolling arche's is'nt enough to fit a deep dished wheel, you want wide arch's. BTW old chevette's did'nt use the et49 offset, as they where RWD

Thanks for the information mate, I've seen some Minilite/superlite wheels on a mk1 Fester in Classic F**d,so they must do FWD offset. The Fester angular lines suited the wheels well, but I think you're right about the arches if I was going to buy secondhand off a Shove-it!

would'nt look very good in vauxhall offset, i imagine it would have very little of a dish then would'nt it? Its the deep polished dish which really sets the wheels off
