View Full Version : suggestions please
right then, after a long hard thought ive decided against all the bodywork mods i had planed. Decided mk1 SRs are rare enough and it gives me an extra 1k+ for the engine :D
so i need some input for wheel design, i sold the multi spokes at the weekend and im already regretting tbh
sugestions on the back of a postcard please lol
heres a pic

I reckon a tailgate would suit the car nicely
As for wheels... Azev, if they fit. Or Vauxhall Astra/Cav Cesaro alloys
i was thinking cesaros aswell
and a tailgate weighs to much lol

Cesaros are nice but I think they are presently going to replace the Cav GSI rims as the "in trend"
How quickly will you be on the road? If its very soon then I'd go for the cesaros before the masses get there.
hoping its on the road by feb, and running properly for the summer and all the shows
Could get some Allessio's...
lol

none of the above..........................just sell the car to me!!!!

astra gte wheels get my vote, somthing that isnt done to death

what offset are the wheels in the pic and how much is it lowered?
dunno mate tbh, coilovers on the front so not sure how low - guessing wheels are et45 since they fit nice and snug, altho not anymore lol

LOL I swapped my Cesaros for Cobra subframes, I like the Cav GSI's because they hide my puny 14SR brakes all round. Plus you automatically get the "Ere is that a valva mate?" Q's when they are painted black it would seem lol
think ive decided on akev's if i can find some in a vaux fitment - also want a set of astra GSi fanblades
astra gte are better...retro! and when the cars slammed euro!

i am a great fan of the 'cavvy gsi slabs' but i dont get this 'cesaro' thing i think they are horrible wheels . oh yea i think those wheels on the silver nova are off a old vectra without centre caps ? , could be wrong ..
i personnaly hate cav gsi slabs, look like steelies !!

Lol all about personal tastes... good job too otherwise our cars would all look the same.
My personal pet hate with alloys is speedlines.

Speedlines are horrible! compomotives are the ultimate old school nova rim. Still love my cav gsi rims tho.
Get some standard sr steelies and have them banded by one inch

Get some Comp MO's in white and a lamp pod on the bonnet :D.
get cesaros or astra gte wheels. old school
Steelies or std alloys would be old school.
Or TSW Venoms lol
astra gte wheels are nasty as **** and should all be burnt
