But 3k is at least what the car is worth, you could have a significantly better car for that, which would be worth more when you came to sell.

How much are Ronal Turbo's now? I would pay what ever for a good set of them (If I had the money) apart from that, OZ Superturismo's aren't that cheap and I would love some of them.

I assume you meant Ronal's there? A lad posted some for sale in the North East section not long ago for £250, needless to say they sold quickly, I forget what ET I need for a Nova and if Ronal's come in that ET.

yeah, the ronals come in ET25 and ET37, you'd be best off with the 37s and 165/50/15 tyres on to give yourself the best shot at getting them under the rear arches of the nova



stretched tyres might get them under without ghey arch mods lol

those above have 195/45s on, you get loads more clearance with a 165/50 tyre on, but you would need stiffer suspension to reduce travel.

Well over 1k. and that was travelling to belguim for them

Most important thing on car that usually makes or breaks car. and if you pick right wheel you never really loose money on them. the expensive ones ive bought ive made probably no loss on them. whereas the cheaper ones-lost more

i have just bought new set of wheels for the vx, taken me about a year to pluck up courage to spend the money, lol!

they should be 850new, but i got a set for 500 new! so i was happy, still seems alot to spend for me but i am really savage on no spending money these days! only spend if its worth while and wont decrease value of car etc for example i know i can sell these wheels anytime for more then i paid so for me its just moving money from bank into wheels, saving money in bank is giving really naff interest at the min anyway!

I used to buy wheels rather then tyres sometimes as I could sell them back on and save money
