The idea of this thread is to get as many different pictures of alloys that you've had or currently have on Novas, basically a database to show what has been on offer.
Get pictures up and the size and offset of the alloys will also be a massive help for others.
For the insane fitments out there then describe what you've done to make your alloys fit.
Discuss and pictures are definitely a must please ;)

Went a bit more unusual on my old one :p. Slight arch mods on one side to get it low enough.
