Hello, I am trying to decide on what wheels i should get. The nova is a mk1 88. It has been lowered by 40mm on Spaxs shocks and springs. I like the speedline but too common. Is there any classic wheels ie, minilights ect that will fit. And what is the size to use?? cheers :thumb:

You dont say what colour it is or if you need a particular size to clear the brakes. Is it a motorsport inspired car? or a smoother, clean look car?

I adore some of the 15" alloys that Speedline do. My fave is the chrono.

Compomotive wheels are really nice & hardwearing too. The MO looks great in Silver & as most people get white ones, can actually look a bit different.

Definately advise you choose some with an offset between 45 & 49mm though.

Cavalier steels are 14". Astra sport had 15" steels.

Trouble with steels is they dont conduct heat away from the wheel bearings very well.

Poverty spec interior? You want SR seats surely? Keep yer bum out of the door poockets on roundabouts. LOL

Set of Vauxhall alloys wouldn't look out of place. Cavalier Cesaro wheels would be my choice.
