erm they arent "hardcore" and they are wayyyyy over used like the 2.0 xe too lol.

infact they are generally boring

Mike
06-06-06, 10:55 AM

Get some 15" steelies blasted and powdercoated white :D.

Mike
06-06-06, 11:02 AM
or, like my old GSi, jet black cav GSi rims on a black nova! Looked ace

even the mk2 sr/sri steelies (with silver rim) still look good. Not hardcore good, as in "old skool" good lol

yer you carnt go wrong with steels, my brother has steels on one of his xr2s, there pretty wide, and they have a ledge and there standard, but they dont fit novas so.....
white steels look good

Mike
06-06-06, 01:21 PM
what about "weller" steelies from demon tweeks? you can get them in loads of sizes and widths?

SRlew
06-06-06, 01:27 PM
can you? what about offsets?

Mike
06-06-06, 01:32 PM

Mike

MO's are cool but if you want something different get some TH3's, there was a cheap set on www.eurorallye.co.uk (http://www.eurorallye.co.uk) the other week.
I've got some Black Pro Race 1.2's on mine which i think are pretty mean looking !!

How the f*** do you notce the barest silhouette of a Celica, Razor!!?? Yes it is a Gen6, it belongs to my neighbour to replace his Impreza turbo (basic turbo model one). Has anyone seen the Vauxhall Viva turbo in this months Practical performance car? Matt black, rusty and never washed. Hardcore. Adam, I've only seen 15x6j" steels on the Mk 4 Astra, these are well hard to get hold of in the breakers as they are newer. My wheels are the 14 x 5.5js from the Cav, I'd like to get some decent tyres for these but options are limited or expensive (and I can't decide whether to paint them black again or leave the rust and crust..)

I'd agree with a set of steels :thumb:

Yes rear lights and no spoiler = Gen6 ST ;)

Your neighbour is replacing an Impreza Turbo with an ST? As much as I admire him dropping the chav's chariot in favour of Mr T's finest, I fear he may be disappointed with performance...

SRlew
06-06-06, 07:37 PM
its lowered bout 40mm

Adam
06-06-06, 07:46 PM
Are you arches rolled?
7j 16s wouldn't even fit inside my arches.

Yeah, he isn't as blown away with it but its cheaper to run as a daily driver and he's in the process of buying a Yamaha R1 'toy'!

you can get the weller wheels direct from weller for a lot less than tweeks sell them for ...

be warned thought they DONT sell the "perfect" offset. they have about 3 for vauxhall 4*100 fitment and they are all a tad odd

Mike
