    4 spd 1.2 Nova

    Re: alloys fo nova (pref white)

    Most aftermarket wheels dont come close to the -49mm offset that Vauxhall used on Novas & Astras etc.

    The best option is some 4 stud 15" wheels from a Cavalier, Astra or Corsa etc. These are narrower than many of the aftermarket wheels & are the correct offset. This means they wont stick out too far & you wont need to grind off your wheel arch lips as well as the handling will remain neutral & less prone to tramlining.

    The options other than GM/Vauxhall stuff are Compomotive, Team Dynamics (some), Speedline (couple models) & Irmscher.

    Think of a maximum wwidth of 6.5", no lower an offset than 45 & 195/45 tyres. Then it'll be OK.
    it's a C20XE not a fookin Redtop FFS
