Thread: Wheels

On a seperate note from my rad support, can I get some insite as to whether or not these wheels will fit?

If your talking about fitting a B13 then NO, B13's are 4-lug pattern

I know they are 4lug. What is pictured is a 5 lug but if you read the description they are 4x100. I was asking if they would fit because of the backspacing

4x100 is right on the money, sorry I just assumed by looking at picture, you should be good then....

Why, why, why would you want these for your car? Because they are cheap? They are STEEL WHEELS! In other words heavy as f*ck!
Look at the description: "great for use in UMP, USMTS, NCRA, AMRA, and Tri-State Mod series. These wheels offer the lowest runout on the market for better traction and feature a beaded shell to prevent your tires from rolling off. With a thicker shell material, these wheels absorb impact from wheel-to-wheel contact. The valve stem behind the center in the window helps to prevent the valve stem from being knocked off, and the super-sized tire seat bead rolled into the shell makes these wheels ideal for even the roughest track conditions.

Unless you are planning that kind of racing (my money says you are not) then do not get these. The weight will slow you down and adversely effect the handling of your car.
You would be better off with a nice alloy set from somewhere or just keeping whatever you have now. If you are dead set on changing the look on your car then do the ricer thing and just plasti dip your current wheels black. (Again not my style but a better, cheaper alternative.) If it were me, I would just save up for a proper set of rims.

Here's a real rim for example that's close to what you want in looks: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=1665603B&wheelMake=Focal&wheelModel=F05&wheelFinish=Flat+Black+Painted&showRear=no&autoMake=Nissan&autoModel=Sentra+SE-R&autoYear=1992&autoModClar=&filterFinish=All&filterSize=15&filterBrand=All&filterSpecial=false&filterNew=All&filterWeight=All&sort=Price

no center bore and off set is too extreme you would need serious camber and stretch or ride like baby boy lol

they weigh nearly 22lbs, about 5lbs over stock b14 wheels

Bassett DOT Street Legal Racing Wheels

but just because steel is denser than aluminum doesn't mean that all aluminum wheels are lighter than all steel wheels

the non DOT version of that wheel weigh slightly less than stock b14 wheels and are slightly wider (15x7)

Bassett 15" Diameter D-Hole Lightweight Racing Wheels Asphalt or Dirt

Right, non DOT rims weigh less; however, do you want to drive around with thinner wheels on the street. No thanks. 22lbs is A LOT for a 15" rim. Heck, anything over 17lbs is a lot IMHO.

considering all the aluminum wheels I've destroyed I don't see what I have to fear from thin steel wheels, maybe I'll break a slightly less expensive wheel? that is more likely to be repairable? not that I'm actually shopping for any of these.

expect to see more steel wheels

Asked for opinions and you shall recieve lol. Was looking at these because of the brand. Have used them b4 on diff cars and they are bullet proof. While they are on the hefty side i would trust these more than those you linked having had exp with basset. Looking for something around those looks, u will pay more than those but dont want to spend a fortune. Any opinions
