in the market for new rims! help plz
im in the market to buy new rims for my b13 1994 SER Sentra
i would like some 15 inch rims as to the 16's i have now are to big!
where are some good trust worthy sites to buy rims from?
im not wanting to pay a grand on these rims either, i think 550-650 is good enough.
i want a gold or bronze finish on the rims.
i like the rotas with like 7 or 9 spokes with the machined lip lol
like the gold ones in the pic in the link below.

Most people call them wheel barrels in this day and age, although shells, rims, lips or wheel-halves are terms also used. You'll be able to find more results using these other terms in your searching.

Here are some places that offer them but beware you need to make sure the bolt pattern matches your wheel centers:

Kodiak Racing Wheels - Custom lightweight race wheels for performance and racing [Shells]

Tunershop - Wheel accessories - Outer Lips - tuning - german wheels and tires - spacers - coilovers
Tunershop - Wheel accessories - Inner Barrels - tuning - german wheels and tires - spacers - coilovers

Jongbloed Racing - Wheels/Applications

Bob Woodman Tires - Rims

VR Wheels WebStore, Presented By VR Motoring





Also if you know the manufacturer of your wheel center, you can usually get good wheel rims/barrels from that company. You might have to call them.

Those don't look like modular wheels to me. I think you need new wheels man. Not new rims.

In that case, I will double Joe's suggestion, except I'd go with a slightly narrower wheel and I like the silver or nickle finishes myself, especially on a black or dark car.

Edit, Oh you want gold or bronze wheels? Ehhh... Then go with Joe's suggestion, but I think the 15" x 8" size is a tad too aggressive. I would do 15" x 7.5".
