Bought a set of GB 6x13" Minilite replicas for my Manta A, but now I'm not sure whether to fit them (I'll need to fit longer wheel studs) or stick with the Rostyles. What do you think?  or  |

Sell the minilites and use the proceeds to get your rostyles banded

Sell the minilites and use the proceeds to get your rostyles banded sounds like a plan! |

Everybody does banded steels now. The MLs look bossnova and studs are trivial to do.

The minilites will give it a very race-inspired look, they would be my choice. The car is just slightly too new to suit the Rostyles in my opinion.

IMO they both look good so rostyles in the winter and minilites in the summer, best of both worlds and your minilites wont get salt damaged on the winter roads. This is assuming you will be driving the car in the winter of course.

I don't think the Minilites look any better than the Rostyles, personally. As for the car not being old enough to carry them off, I think you're wrong on that count, you should cross that off your 'reasons not to fit them' list.

Minilights, i never liked Vauxhalls dodgy version of the Rostyle wheel, unless you can get the proper ones in the right PCD? that would make the other Manta boys interested i reckon. These,  don't look anywhere near as nice as these,  |

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

Never been a fan of the ATS Classics on a Manta A, nor do I fancy banded Rostyles for it. I think I'm leaning towards the alloys, especially as the blue one has the Rostyles fitted.
Maybe Omnipod has the answer, both depending on season.

changing your wheels / tyres combo according to the seasons will become 'the new black' You saw it here first.
