Pics of Novas on 17's

[NickWalliams]

Hi everybody

Can I see some pics of Novas fitted with 17 inch rims, and before anyone says it Ive seen everything worth seeing in the gallery!

Im thinking of getting a set of 17's as a 2nd set of rims and plan on having them in white!

cheers

[Kev Turbo]

16's are the best fit all round realy for these, your choice entirly though!

17's just look a tad to big imoh but thats my thoughts and what i know!lol

Gutted I didn't take more pics of it when it was on 17's.... Was the lowest around at the time (No coilovers or anything silly-just -60mm springs and Jamex shockers!)

[NickWalliams]

what happened to your mim's RJM?

[RJM25R]

Sold them to a local (bacup) lad called martin. He had them polished and fitted to a Combat Corsa with an XE ehich was TV cover car either the monthe BEFORE bretts, or the month after. I can't remember!

Thay were mint wheels but the handling is way better with 15's, plus at the time I needed 2 new tyres and they were ?100+ each. Martin offered me what I'd paid for them so.....

[Kev Turbo]

oh forgot to say rick drapers looks the nuts on 17's tho,

very nice choice of rim, needs them for the silly sized brake tho!lol

[hybridturbo]

Could be raceline rls's ??

hi mate, when you say used to run, has he sold them?

[Nick J]

Nick, The car is currently on 15" mo's as phil does a fair few track days etc now, I believe he still has them but he has 2 or 3 other novas at the mo and Im sure he will be using them on one of them, However I will ask for you, Nick

[NickWalliams]

ok cheers mate! failing that i may have bought some mim brescias! I was thinking baout having them white but may stick with silver decisions dicisions!

[craig green]

Nick. There was a place in Scotland doing the 17" Kosei's that used to advertise in Total Vauxhall. IIRC they would not do postage (send) them & perhaps they still have them. Its a couple yrs ago but its a long shot & worth a phone call. Perhaps I'll get a chance to dig out a back issue over the weekend, failing that try a 'wanted' for them. They were fairly popular.

[NickWalliams]

Ok craig mate ill post up a couple of wanted adds and if you can find the mag then bonus! cheers for your help

[The Simps]

I may have to make the move to 17s to Nick.

Bought some 195/50 R16 888s for mine to use on track but they don't fit in the rear arches :(. They don't do a lower profile either.

I can now change my brake setup and go down to 15s, modify the rear arches or go up to 17s.

As said on MIG tho Seneka S5R's are the ultimate wheel for me. Saw them on that red mk1 astra Turbo B*** YUS years ago and just wanted a set!! Shame they don't make them anymore.

Simps.

[The Simps]

p.s. I've just emailed a few US/Canada based companies t see what cost would be involved in shipping!

Simps.

[RJM25R]

make sure they're ET45 cos they're still availabe but not in that offset....
