Cheers, DangerMouse
No Burgo option :mad: and a tad sarcastic:roll:
I don't care what wheels you put on your car. As long as your happy with them :thumb:
Plus i've seen that type of wheel on a Nova before. So I can't see whats so new and leading the way about them.
Anyhoo - The new wheels look nice, but the old one also looked nice as well. Lovely little car:thumb:
get some speedlines :p :thumb:

rl7's are hardly common on a nova are they??so you would hardly be a sheep would you!

Look small IMO. leave em on though.
Don't like them but didn't like the Gold ones either. Not really entitled to an opinion as i'm a sheep with Speedlines.

Gold wheels looked better imo but these may grow on me its youre car mate **** every1else (no offence) lol

Look cool, very different nice one mate
I just wonder who doesn't like me????? (option 3!)
lol Im sure people are just using the option because its there. I was tempted, just to make you paranoid :p
Are you keeping the other wheels so that you have two sets?
its youre car mate **** every1else (no offence) lol
well said
Well thats the way i see it with any modified car, you dont modified a car so that every 1 else likes it do ya:wtf: its youre car you need to personalise it (like you have with a few lil touches) make it stand out from the crowd the colour half does that any way.. the wheels just set it of abit more.. but in some ppls eyes its always going to be (the last owners name)'s car.. but to most with these lil touches it wil be your nova
the hole point in modifyin a car is t stand out from the rest.. i get sick and tired of seeing Novas Gsi Kitted up On Speedlines (Bahh bahh) Yes It Works Well But i but every show you go to you see lets say a red nova gsi on speedlines then you see white1 then so on and so on.. There al the same...
its just boring now..
Mate, put the set of wheels on dat you like the most imho it looks mint on both
Keep up the good work fella:thumb:

Hi mate,
Personally i loved the RL7's that you had on it before. Tried to get some myself but discontinued now.
Not sure on the ones you have put on it now to be honest. If you like em though who gives a sh1t what anybody else thinks.
Martin

Fair enough, but I have never seen a Nova with colour-coded Revolution RFX wheels in a Pearlescent Green colour before!!!! And I don't think you have either!!!!! I think Euro is the future. Old-school/euro combination is my target.
I appreciate that not everyone will like them, but I just wasn't happy with the Racelines. It was gonna cost me ?150 to get them done anthracite and It cost me the same to have the Revo's done in a much more individual style.
To put it into perspective, I sold the Racelines for ?480, already had the Revo's(purchase price ?200) had the refurbed and painted and 4xnew Toyo's for ?144 incl fitting. All in all, the car looks better (IMHO) and it cost me ?14 all in (on top of the money for the RL7'S)
IMHO Speedlines are a fantastic looking wheel (BETTER than the Revo's or the RL7'S on the Nova) but just a tad too common, a bit like BBS on a golf.
The fact remains that they're old-school wheels for an old-school car.
Flame at will!
Well thats the way i see it with any modified car, you dont modified a car so that every 1 else likes it do ya:wtf: its youre car you need to personalise it (like you have with a few lil touches) make it stand out from the crowd the colour half does that any way.. the wheels just set it of abit more.. but in some ppls eyes its always going to be (the last owners name)'s car.. but to most with these lil touches it wil be your nova
Just clocked this after I posted.
I have to admit, I am motivated by the fact that I've bought the car and it will be associated to other people who owned it before me (doffs hat to Garry and Ben) and it's important to make the car MINE. I think the wheels are a large piece of the puzzle...
I will repeat - I don't care what wheels you put on your car. As long as your happy with them :thumb: Lovely little car:thumb:
However doing different stuff to your car is all well and good but the Nova has been around a LONG time now so to be quite honest your not really going to be doing anything thats not been done before. Unless its rubbish or way out there! Piccy below demonstrates this point nicley
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v485/DPursey/DreamNova.jpg
So you've painted your wheels, they look nice:D However the way you have constructed your poll. i.e. putting down other cars(I think you should've been a sheep) just to make you feel better about your own is ****ty(and a bad attempt at humor). If someone copies an idea or look from another car, so what! Each to their own.
Theres no "Need centre cap option" LOL
Probably been mentioned answered, but i went with the second option as i like the idea, the wheels aswell, but need caps as i'm not a fan of seeing bolts or hub nuts.
Top job though looks much better than the gold.

Sorry if you don't like the poll, but where have I put anyone's car down? I can't read where I'm slagging anyone off at all. Maybe we should have a poll about the poll, "Is Rick hurting peoples feelings?"
I put up the poll because I wanna know opinions, and Dar, I thank you for yours about the wheels.
Where did i say i didn't like the poll !!?
Edit: read it again doh. i'll shut up.
Posted as you were posting. It was Dar who didn't like the poll....
pictures !?
unlike alot of people, i don't follow your cars progress or have a clue about it really !
Hmmm, those figures have changed somewhat in the last ten minute....
At least you hate me and not the car!!!

That's me with the Hilfiger t-shirt on....
Note front mudfllaps are missing. I wore about an inch off them on the way to Silverstone! Then they fell off! And I ran over them! And........... well, you get the idea!!!!!
wow people hate you :p lol
to be fair its different... different might not be good or bad, but its different lol
i like tha lack of centre caps though :D kinda makes it nearly look like some sort of motorsport slag...ish
oh ther awfull i wud have been the sheep and gone for speedlines at least they look nice but other than the rims the car is stunning pal

I agree that pic makes them look better than in the other pics.
Lol at the front mudflaps, should of fitted them on higher up then :p Lol

Was'nt sure about them at first, but there growing on me the more i see them!! I was looking for your car at Trax to have a look but never found the Total Vauxhall stand, also have to apologise for not speaking, just seen you in that pic and realised you walked past when i was talking to Beasty, Not seen you in quite a few years though!
matthew172
04-09-06, 10:01 PM
im sorry but i think it looks s**te now
I like them, as said to you at trax. Then again you're a big ******* so best not to upset ya pmsl Jk... VHD ;) Awesome.
Its certainly different and nice to see a change, I can guarentee there will be a lot of Colour coded centers with polished lips floating around soon...
Hideous
No option to post in poll without kissing your ass or hating you and im doing neither just dont like the wheels.
EDIT: Do like the wheels just not painted green oron that car.

04-09-06, 10:44 PM
I like it with those wheels, got a set of 14's & 15's in the Revolution RFX for the Sport. The 15' are black & polished at the moment but I am going to get them done Polar white with a polished rim.
I think the gold wheels looked dated, these are old skool but fresh.
At least he is making an effort to make the car his own and not just leaving as the previous owner styled it eh!

hmmm im a bit iffy on them.. they are a nice rim an all but i dont really like the green in the centre.. the car itself is fluckin mint!! tho i feel the green centres let it down slighty..perhaps a different colour??? BMW dolphin grey or somthing along those lines..
I just wonder who doesn't like me????? (option 3!)
lol I can see the results :p
I think you should've been a sheep and just done something that's been done before.
Thats what you've done anyway, how many Novas have (had) Revolutions on, don't think your the first ?
From the pics i think they look sh*te, might look better in the flesh, at the end of the day as long as you like them ... !

correct me if im wrong but when did he say he was the 1st to do this?
its just not your everyday speedline
im sorry but i think it looks s**te now
How many times do you need to post the same comment?

I notice that nobody refers to it as BEN's car or GARRY's car.....

05-09-06, 08:05 AM
I notice that nobody refers to it as BEN's car or GARRY's car.....
thats because its not really that well known!
not like say mark beesons(sp) or mathew172s etc

I think it's only well known to people who are old school
Anyway, don't you mean Bretts car LOL!!!
i like it! looks good. different for a nova to have! i always liked the look of mk1/2 escorts with wheels done like that, but always wounderd what it'd look like on a nova, I LIKE!

05-09-06, 12:38 PM
I still dont think the suit the car - The car may be old skool, but its not old skool styled. With a mk1 sport style you could pull it off, but not with the GSI look.
They may still grow on me, i think deep down i want to like them because i've always loved the car.
Keith
yeah OLD SKOOL hollaaaaaaaa
marland, you dont give a toss if people like them or not, your just jizzing off on all this "attention" lol
I don't know what you mean, Stu:tard:
i think it goes well with the colour of the car and looks different :)

matthew172
05-09-06, 06:02 PM
well at the end of the day the reason speedlines are such a common nova wheel is prehaps because they are the best nova wheel??
Personally, the RL7's rocked. I would have kept them....

05-09-06, 06:55 PM
Yeah, would have kept the RL7's. Looked a lot better. New wheels waste it in my opinion.

I like them, how ever voted the last option pmsl

Speedline Alessio's are most commonly seen, so people confuse this with being the best! You see them all the time on some of the best Nova's without a doubt.
Some people are happy to have carbon-copy cars.
If you're happy to have a car and not put any of your own style into it, good luck to you. I'm glad that some people like them (the wheels), and i'm glad some people don't, because if you all liked them, it won't be long before more cars look the same.
I'm sure loads of people would've bought K95 and not changed a thing just like you haven't with Brett's car........ but it's not my style! When I was gonna buy Nick's car, I was gonna change the front bumper (don't like the cutout or the fogs) the wheels and the interior, and would have fitted these wheels with a coded centre!!!
novacabrio
05-09-06, 09:06 PM
Not easy to find 15" RFXs so not an easy copy, I like them for the fact that they are diffrent,
Why ask opionons if your challenging anyone that dosent like them? So basically only want opinions if people like it.
they look good mate, you don't see many road novas on revolutions, thought mine was the only one lol lol
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/6666666/j490surmikesnewnova017.jpg
So basically only want opinions if people like it.
If that was the case. why have a poll (that the new wheels are winning, i might add!)
If people wanna "hate" that isn't a problem
I like the revolutions, they are different / unique especially with the colour coded centers..:thumb:
But i also liked the Racelines..

who really cares !? it's your, car no-one elses

That sums it up perfectly mate.
We dont walk around with the same clothes on or the same haircut so why should all Nova's have speedlines.

06-09-06, 02:21 PM
Did you start this thread just to have a rant about people having similar looking cars?
Different isnt always good and it isnt always bad! Your poll comes across as very arrogant too, as already stated you have the option to kiss your **** or dislike you?!
Its been discussed a million times, speedline alesio 2's fit a nova perfect and they look awesome but on the downside they are now quite a common wheel on novas. I hardly ever see a decent nova anymore so I dont give a rats **** if other people have a similar looking car to me.
You going to fit a ford fiesta 1.1 engine next? Because that would be different too lol

lol
Of course I'm arrogant-I sell cars for a living!
No, seriously, the thing with Alessio's is that they were the ONLY 16" wheel you could get in the correct offset for Vaux, THAT'S why their so popular! People didn't have much choice!!!
Paul16v
06-09-06, 04:37 PM
you can get soft stars in 16in and et 49 also there were mim brescias et49 16in
its just the speedlines suit novas so well!

They WERE the only 16" wheel, long before MIM Brescia's and Raffino's and RL7 and Compomotive MO and Softstars..... 1996 Wheelbse started selling them.
I'd say it looks better with the speedlines. but it's your car - It's different !
On a seperate note, i hate the way suposidly famous novas, are referred to by their registration ! It's like one big elitest competion. I have enough trouble remembering my own reg, let alone being able to conjur up an image of someone else car based on their registration !
Not having a go, just making a seperate point.

The fitment does contribute to the popularity but I still think they look spot on! similar design to the ferrari 355 rims.
What wheels is your other nova going to have?

This car will always be referred to by it's reg plate, It's a simple plate to remember!! It's not supposedly famous.. It is!! It's mag featured and been on the web for years. Therefore famous!! It will always be know as K95 VHD by the Old School Nova owners who know it from the days of Gary, Ben and now Rick owning it, it's been around for years, so it's not difficult to remember the plate! Same thing with A16V TB, H16V TB, MAP 18W, J2 LTB there all easily remembered plates and refered to by the reg by a lot of people! Whats the competition in that??

The thing is no matter what the reg is or the colour it will always be Gary Hopes car, like Brett's, Nick's, Dec's, Karl's, they will always be there car's no one else's. Change everything you want, it is still Gary's car in the heart of every nova owner.
It's GARRY actually :-) but I'm lucky enough that theres only about 20 people still involved with the scene who even knew who Garry was.
kev, we need a new server with increased ego space.

At the end of the day the decision is yours and it's your individuality that counts......yes it's nice to get opinions from others but the final decision is yours. People can go to great lengths to be different but someone out there would probably try and go one better........so my advice is 'go with what your heart says'
Matt2107
07-09-06, 09:40 AM
Personally I would say dont change the plate... but I have a firm hatred of personalised number plates. I think its better to stick with the original plate.
But what the **** do I know :D Do whats right for you.
Back to the subject of wheels. i like them! :thumb:
