Bought these wheels for my nova, they are 15inch and have a polished lip which looks quite cool. Also the spoke's were all silver before painting.
Have painted the centre with grey met basecoat, and used a 2k lacquer
with a red pearl.
There is quite abit of colour shifting in direct sunlight, nice pearls. You can
see it abit in the last photo. Plus the red pearl sparkles thru in the sun
I'm quite pleased, what you guy's think.

Thank you very much SRLew

they are Outlaw corlene, outlaw usually only make from 18 inch till 21" usually for jeeps and so on, so strange to get them in 15. They are a one peice rim, but have a good copy look a like of split rims. I'm well pleased to get them espically so cheap. The pics don't really do them justice, and the polished rim looks very shiney in the flesh as does the red pearl shifting. I think it will give my nova abit of the euro look, as there is a deepish dish, not too much but deeper than it looks
Just have to sort out some tyre's now, which i think maybe expensive, since i want slanted wall tyre's to hekp with the arch clearence. 15/50/185 do you think a 185 will work on 7 inch wide?and what price would i expect to pay for slanted wall 185?
BTW they where bought on ebay

forgot to mention the nova has red plastic rally mudflaps, and the red in the wheels is quite visable in the flesh so it should look gd

cheers. Any idea's on a price for tyre's?
I need slanted wall tyre's, are they more expensive than normal tyre's?

My requirements are 4 directional slanted wall 185/50/15 tyre's?
Would a 185 fit on a 7 inch wide wheel?
