Well, if your car did not vibrate before, and it does with new the wheels on...that is a pretty good indicator something is up with those wheels. I would get them checked for damage and balanced.

Lug Centric, means that the lug nuts will centre the wheels properly. Doesn't hurt to add the correct hub rings though. (60.1mm ID)
If you're getting a shake at 100kph, then your wheels are...
If your suspension is stock you will have no problem with 215/45/17 unless your rims have some crazy low +'ve off set numbers. See show car at the start of this thread for some 205/40/18 42mm...
Ok, I see you know your stuff! That would be a great size, but I still think the 18'' would work great and look better too.
Good luck with whatever you do and please post pics if it happens!
Hey bro, I think if you do the math you will find that the 205/40/18 on the show car have a fair bit of side wall height to protect rims...what size 17'' were you thinking of getting? It is easy for...
Not worried. I know winter tires are great and all, but I've never bothered with them.
Yeah thanks :)
They don't look bad, but I really wanted to pimp it out with some nice rims. The suspension is now easily adjustable, via the spring seats...so raising it up a bit would allow more...
Having trouble sorting wheel/tire combo now that the car is lowered properly. :D
The suspension is now just where I want it, handles great, good lowered look, but still practical. The problem now,...
Here are a couple pics comparing the bare steelies w/centre caps and Albrecht ''Wind'' wheel covers.
These are also available in 15'' size for stock steelies.
I think the covers would look...
Not VW...
Changing for a better look. The lower RPM will help with fuel and the freakin' speedo though. I may have a final calibration done when I decide on aluminum summer rims (they will use...
Got new ''interim'' wheels/tires on (while I decide on, and then wait for aluminum rims to arrive)
It is hard for me to take representative pictures due to crappy camera and skills... the...
Actually, if I wanted to try those tires (they are reasonably priced) rims would be the issue: I would have to get a set custom made, because adapters push the wheel out somewhat. I bet the BMW rims...
Yep, they're from the i3. Tires are Bridgestone ''Ecopia'' 155 and 175 on 19 and 20'' rims LOL! I love it.
I can go either way on my 16'' steelies as I bought centre caps and also ordered cheapie...
Well, it seems any wheel that suits my taste (re:style/size/fitment) is not trendy enough to stocked anywhere and is custom order only. Some places are telling me 8 weeks, some double that. I'm...
There are a some on this page too, they give rim name and size but not offset or tire size. A lot of these cars have that extra lip bolted around the wheel arch, like the NISMO...
EDIT: they calling...
Hey guys, still trying to figure out the best wheel/tire combo. Some pics of pretty nice wheels:
#1,2 Enkei GTC 01...but what size,offset and tire is shown?
# 3,4,5,6...unknown wheel /tire...
I settled for 17X7 rims (Work Emotion 11R) with 205/45 tires.
18x7 with 205/40 would have looked better, but given the offset I like... the choices are limited to wheels ~$800 us each and up LOL!...
Hi MJ, I looked up those Motegi rims they are the MR119. They nice too. Are those the ones you will be getting?
The offset is listed as 40mm so they will sit out from the car just 2mm more than your...
Hey MJ, I'm hoping you can post a few pics of your car from the side and front/back when you get it? I'm not opposed to lowering my car even more, so i'm interested in how the 17'' look for size and...
Hi guys, I am trying to figure out some wheels/tires too. Does anyone have a direct (or near direct) frontal and/or rear shot of the Car Show Micra? Closest I can find on the Googler doesn't quite...
Think hard about buying this package... the wheels look great, but IMO the sizing is wrong , unless your car is going to be lowered.
Stock 185-60-15'' tires are about 23.70'' tall.
Stock ''SR''...
Hey guys, check the 18'' rims in the first post... they fit good and still leave a little gap, and that's with a lowered suspension. If you are keeping the stock ride height, no telling how big you...
