Can anyone give me details on those wheels? Size, width and offset please??

[Manta Mad]

i think they were standard on 1.8 gt models ?????

maybe i wrong ,but we will see :)

I've got a set on one of my Novas but they are indeed Nova wheels, so they're 5" wide and have an ET49.

Origionally I flaired the arches on my Nova to clear 7" wide and an ET40, so if these wheels had a RWD offset, lets say ET35, it'd fill the arches a lot better and still look pretty standard.

See, theres method in my madness.

Not really the proper ET on a manta or ascona for a 7" rim is 25, that fills the arch properly without rubbing the arches, its been said a load of times on the OMOC site, I'm getting a bit confused now with the wrong information on here and will put others off there is to many posts about nothing to do with cars. Good technical information like OMOC,JOV , RMS, VXOPEL or JON44 is what we need :( and more guys onboard with technnical info not just the same 6 or so waffling

I have a set of 5 of them in 14"x6. 'Frisco' told me the name of a place in the UK that do wheel banding. They have a machine that does it so they turn out perfect. I think their site is called widewheels (.co.uk or .com I'm sure). I think thats what he said. But I'm gona check them out and consider sending mine over to them to be widened to about 7"(f) and 8"(r). I've seen it done and it's sweet. So there's always that option if you can't find ones with a small ET :thumbup:
