Yea but i got the r888's for free so cant really complain ;) so ill wear them out then get 45's

[smcgsi16v]

^^^^^Not R888's tho, 195 50 15 are purfect and good choice on the tyre front. Also can't get 45's on R888's.

Brakes will be fine.

[Jay]

Yea i no ill get yoki's next in 45's i no i wish they did 45's in r888's :(

[7ova]

nice wheels mate!
post a picture with them on car, when sorted
did you get them for a good price?

[Jay]

Well i paid ?80 for them seems ok coz i've seen them go for ?100+ before they wont be on the car for a while as i have scrapped the nova am looking for another one as we speak... :)

[Jack]

?80-100 is about the going rate.

[Jay]

Oh thats alrite then im goin to get them sprayed Anthracite, well its actually called polaris grey which looks like graphite ;) will post pics when they are done :thumb:

[Rich]

Free R888s? What tyre shop did you rob? lol

[Adam Moran]

888's "might" rub it depends how pissed the spanish were when they built your car.

As for brakes 256mm easy peasy.... 280mm V6 no problem either ;)

MINE!!! haha nah my mate owed me a favour and he has sold his car without the tyres so he said i can have them there worn but only been on the car 3 months have about 6mm tread left :D

I am spraying them sunday so will get pics when there done. :thumb:

[Jay]

Took the tyres off at work today and there nearly ready to get sprayed

Thought i'd grab a quick photo before thy get done.

Quick question does anybody no where i can get some new centre caps from, apart from Vauxhall?

[Adam]

Only Vauxhall sell them new, and there expensive(as expected)

There looks nothing wrong with those caps tho?
Just remove the badges, paint, and fit new badges.

[Adam Moran]

Do you mean the stickers in the middle?

If so theres loads on ebay :)

[Plug]

Very nice buy loving the alloys

[lee coley]

[Jay]

One cap has bad deep scratches on it, i will just buy a second hand one and get new badges for them :D

Which colour badges Red background with white griffin or black background and white griffin?

[Jay]

Thinking of buying these opel badges, have done a quick photoshop to see what they look like when sprayed, i like them :D what does every body else think :thumb:

[Plug]

opel them up

[Jay]

Yep i will do! Bought some off ebay, coming from hong kong though! I will add pics when they get sprayed ;)

[NovaJackie]

look good mr

[Jack]

Opel badges will look good IF your car is debadged or has opel badges on it. Would look daft if there's a griffin on the bonnet lol

I've opel-ed mine up, but butchered some other wheel caps to do it instead of using stick-on badges.

Crap pics, but its the only ones I have at the mo. The opel logo is a chrome 3d one and fills the space perfectly.

[Jay]

Nice Jack, yea i will take the de badge the car then replace them with opel on the bonnet and the boot ;)

[craig green]

Nice. Possibly the best std Vauxhall wheel of that era.

I've got an OPEL bonnet badge & rear tailgate badge if interested.

[hybridturbo]

Went a bit far when cleaning mine up lol

2nd'd

What colour is that? Nice job

[Jay]

Polaris grey and i used white primer for a lighter finish. I used grey primer on my last wheels and they came out a bit dark.

[Adam]

Cool. Leave them dry for a week before fitting tyres.

[Jay]

I will do. There not going on the car for another month or so anyway. After some gis bumpers now :thumb: :D
