Rims

[NoVa 2.0]

I found some rims i'm interested in buying and i wanted to know if they would fit on my ride?

The guy thats selling them say's the size is 16x6.5 4x100 or 4x114.3? He said they will fit both lug patterns.

I'm pretty sure they will fit, but wanted to be 100% sure before i bought them.

what is the offset of the wheels. ? since they are 16's offset isnt as big of an issue than say you were going to run 17's or 18's. but still, just curious to see what the offset is.

by the sound of it, they are universal 4 lug. so you should be covered.

got any pics of the wheels?

for 4-lug wheels, i would look for a set of the 16-inch 2001-ish miata wheels - 16x7, light weight, and you KNOW they'll fit.

like these:

or the 05 i believe MS miata wheels by racinghart. like prodigy had.

those are really nice and they are 4lug with propert offset.

hey njaremka,

what is the correct offset to run on pro sedans? im gonna be getting diff wheels, cant decide whether 17's or 16's, but wanted to know the right offset.

also, what offset would bump the wheels out a little more to be more even with the fender line?

stock is 50, at least on my ES -

here's a good calculator to see how offset and width interact when changing wheels....

[mhrebin]

they resemble rota grids alot. but i dont think they come in universal.

those are actually the style wheel im looking into getting.lol

Yea i saw them and couldn't pass them up. They remind me of the Volk style as well.

Purchased the rims today, all i have to do is find a good set of tires now!

 

[red95_240sx]

heck yea...get some sweet springs to compensate the wheelgap. like sportlines or goldlines or sprint.

Already have the Eibach Pro kit, just need to get the Tokiko Blues to go with them and i should be straight.

 

[mickeyreategui]

[FrolessWonder]

[NoVa 2.0]

LOL Yea they do look like Fro's rims a bit huh? LOL Yea i'm guna hopefully get some tires in a week or two, just researching to see which ones compliment the rims well.

Also can anyone recommend a good place to buy wheel/rim locks? I've heard to many stories about people having their rims jacked!

 

[mickeyreategui]

pep boy, but i would go get some nice gorilla lugs, they look good and have a special tool that you have to have to take them off.
