[white2lSR]

that looks good! mine is white, same as that. its a good look. are they cav CD wheels?

[ANDYRACER]

Yes mate there the cav cd rims, i then changed to 15" cav gsi rims and it didnt handle aswell as when on the 14"s imo.

[white2lSR]

well vauxhall mad the GTE-GSI with 14" rims so they must have thought they were the best size at the time. plus you can get some really decent tyres for the 14s as well. ive also been looking at Compomotive TH's but they are ?110 a wheel 14x6.

[staggy_gsi]

i aint a fan of them cav CD rims....

[SRlew]

what width are the astra gte alloys? there 14's right? as i still want 14 but not sure what to go for. want a some that are atleast 6" wide

14 inch cav steelies (with large holes cut out, not the later Vectra type ones) only 5.5 inches wide though.

I have been looking for a set of 14 inch Mk2 Golf steelies as these are 6 inches wide, thus allowing me to fit 195 45 14 Toyo T1Rs. Only problem will be the offset, but with such a small wheel and round arches, I think it should be ok.

Car is now dropped 40mm, so looks a bit less like its wearing stilts!

Steelies rock. lol Not sure what it is about them but I think they look good. :)

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p94/nathan_settle/novasripics001.jpgthis is my brothers nova
the wheels are 14inch tsw alpine alloys sprayed in black, they look ok i think
i agree that smaller alloys look so much better on nova's anything over 16inch looks stupid in my opinion

[SRlew]

yeh jacks got the idea! sri steelies are where its at!

nathannova, your brothers nova looks well nice!

[welsh_roadrally]

I had a mint SRi in red when i was 18,standard apart from a K&Nlol ,that had the O.E steels on it as i really liked them,the lad that bought it fitted a set of 15" venom's as soon as he bought it though:roll: ,was 7 years ago but still tastelesslol
Ive got about 14 SRi steels(2 have never been on a car)and a set of centre caps,did think of refurbing a set and trying them on my GSi,do have to grind the face of the astra 16v calipers to get them to clear though.

[Nova Full]

The nova in this months TV mag is running 14inch wheels i think

[LUV2XLR8]

my astra gte 14'' wheels. anyone put jetta steelies on? they look well mint, wide and if droped 60 looks euro ish

[SRlew]

i would get sri steelies but i want something thats a bit wider than that so i can put smaller tyres on.

luv2xlr8 whats these jetta steelies you speak of? whats a jetta? lol

[dannyb]

A Jetta is a MK 1 or 2 golf with a boot. Same wheels as they fit to Golfs, they will fit a Nova, but rub like a s1ut as the offset it et38.

[Iain]

The white car in Fast & Furious 1 lol

[LUV2XLR8]

thats it lol my mate had them on his nova, they did rub but not too bad. if you rolled your arches they should be fine

mayhem! that nova is a beast! it looks so mean, is it hard to put different outa parts of a wheel on then? as i take it thats what he's done?

[mayhem]

there the original wheels of a kadett gt (a 89' opel, in the uk nown as a astra i think??)

just go to a 'wheel docter', the can widen steel wheels. a populair and cheap methode to get wide wheels overhere in the netherlands and Germany.

[SRlew]

original wheels!! thats nuts!

might look into having a set widend

[Iain]

I looked in to that a while back out of interest but couldn't find any UK places that do it. Looks great! :)

[SRlew]

ah right thats my plan outa the window then lol

[mayhem]

really? overhere various 'wheeldocters' (wheel repair shops) do this.

[mayhem]

some more 'german style' (low,clean and wide) nova's
