right i have some 15" TSW imolas at the moment, but i aint put em on yet, they are ET 40 (don't laff) anyway, should i keep these or get some 16" team dynamics motorsports (ET45) with 205/45s on the front and 195/50's on the back, how much arch work will i need? to get these to fit aswell? and what will it do to my acceleration on a 1.2
:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

err..to cut it short, what'll fit best and handle best etc

15" are better for accelleration an grip on a nova than 16" an need less arch work, a deacent bodyshop should be able to roll the arches for bout 150/200 quid max

195/50r15s are actually lower geared than standard 145r13s.
if you get et49 wheels, and get someone to grind some of your rear arches away then repaint whats left, you could save a few bob.
I did this about 6 years ago and the rear arches are still ok. the rest of the car has rotted though

keep the faith
