Only one I can think of is Chris Suttons silk violet GSi which now has Irmscher Softstars.

You realise these are 5 stud wheels and require a fair bit of adaptation & parts from other cars in order to fit?

They dont really suit the car well enough IMO or justify the hassle of 5-studding the car simply to get them on.

Each to their own though however.

Hmm, I think they look quite good on a Nova!

Much work to fit?

I dont like them on a nova, they look sweet on a corsa tho.

Cav V6 rear hubs & brakes setup incl the 5 stud discs,

Front; requires a big block conversion & machined hubs to accept 5 stud hub flanges, 5 stud discs etc.

So all in, to perform the swap you need.

5 stud wheels x4 5 stud discs x4, big block conversion, 5 stud hub flanges, tyres, brake calipers & wheel bearings to suit.

i know whats needed to fit them, and it is'nt the look i want.. its to be different and ive just bought some proper conversion shafts as my driveshafts were bodged when i got my car so i thought instead of going and getting 4 stud hubs machined for big block outer cv's i may aswell go for 5 stud (being different) then while im doing the back i'd have to go rear disc which was on the cards anyway

got a big block engine/gearbox..
got proper conversion shafts what use big block inner and outer cv's..

got/can get easy enough wheels/brake set up! can also use vectra rear set up! and most the vectra sri/v6 front brake set up's are 308mm so ive been told..

would need front hubs off chris astley? allready machined..
rear disc conversion mounts for the rear beam

for brake pipes i have a mate who can make braided gear..
then its all setting up after ive sussed the correct handbrake cable set up..

i know everything wont be ticked off on the list but i have a fair idea on how to go about doing it.. i hope!
