Purchasing Wheels real soon. Opions needed.
Car: 1994 Sentra SE-R
Color: Black
Lug pattern: what is our lug pattern? 4x100 or 4x114.3?

I need to know if the wheels will fit.

Choice 1: DR-31 Wheels in Bronze in color
15 Bronze Drag DR-31 Wheels Rims 4x100/4x114.3 4 Lug Civic Integra Versa Mini G5 | eBay

Choice 2: Konig Lightspeed Wheels (idk if these will fit)
15 Bronze Konig Lightspeed Wheels Rims 4x100 4 Lug Civic Mini Cobalt XB Integra | eBay


those are the top two I have picked out.
i want a bronze wheel on my car but am open to other wheel options.

Lug patterns and other info is here: Tire Wheel Sizes

And I got that link from this thread which also has plenty of info to help you choose wheels based on fitment: http://www.sr20-forum.com/information-library/29119-definitive-tire-thread.html

If you want my personal opinion on the wheels, I like the Konig wheels better of your two choices. However I would recommend something else entirely if you're open to other choices. What are you looking for in a wheel? The 949 Racing makes the 6UL wheel which is light, strong, affordable, comes in great sizes for us, bronze is an option, and they look killer in my opinion.

I think you should consider this: http://949racing.com/15x7.5-6ul-bronze.aspx

^^^ DITTO.

Of the two, I also like the Konig better, but the 949 are hard to beat if you're going for that style. They're a proven race wheel that started in the Miata community and has expanded to other 4x100 platforms. Lot's of resale potential on these if you decide to sell them later... the other two choices? Not so much. BUT, buy what makes *you* happy, not us.

949
I just got my bronze 6ul's and they look great on my black NX. If you go that route the center caps will not fit. Also you need 8 valve stems as those wheels have 2 per wheel. Last thing do not buy the lug nuts on there site as they are a different thread than what we use. Good luck!

15x8 + 20 is about perfect on a b13. you can run a 225 tire and it fits just right.
if just a street car and you want it too look a little better you can use a 16x8+20. I run a 16x8+0 on my car but am modifying the suspension a lot to make it sit flush with the fender.

here is a 15x8+20 with a 225 hankook ventus

McPherson strut suspension like every other suspension I can think of cambers under compression.. that car pictured does not rub, and is a beast on the track with only 140whp. this size is perfect, but i guess I'm a yahoo for liking something bigger than a 6x7 with a 205 under a sentra...
