    my favourite "old skool" wheels =

    momo arrows


    and

    azev a`s


    Azevs might look pish on a nova though - generally needs to be on a big saloon car.

    Bargain!

    As for the Nova wheels, you need to decide if you are going to butcher the arches & grind it about to squeeze in some wheels which are totally the wrong offset & ruin the feel of the handling or keep to et49 or as close as poss & fit some sensible wheels.

    Personally I'd have some 14" 2.0 Cavalier steels banded to 7" wide, paint em white or cream, stretched on tyres. Nice.
    it's a C20XE not a fookin Redtop FFS
