Sorry to hi-jack but they would look cool on a nova with the boxy shape!

Manta Berlinetta ?? or a GT/J - I think ?
Manta GTE with some random, incorrect Centre Caps. They're 6x14" and have a RWD Offset, iirc et35.
They are a nice wheel for early Novas but wont fit right and cause lots of arche scrubbage.

ET30. Even worse.
If you have the inner mounting face skimmed back,. you could raise the offset & they will fit nicely.
Alternatively ebay them as retro/rare Manta fodder & cash in.

I fitted Mine for about a week then had to take them off because they were scraping the arches, but i did have 195, 60, r14's on them tho, with lower profiles on they might not.
Na, they just wont fit!!
I have a set of 4 here with 5 centre caps (the proper caps that is)

I'm trying to think of a good come back, and cant.

In your face!
My Dad used to have a set or similar on his opel kadette

Even if they did fit, the neutral steering feel & feedback would ruin a sweet Nova, as would the tramlining due to uneven surfaces.
Get the offset right or dont bother IMO.
