    WTB (someday): used lightweight wheels

    This might be an easy uestion if someone has the full wheel specs handy... would notable lightweight wheels like the Civic Vx or sixth generation HX fit this car? 4x100, offset 35/45, lug size 12x1.5, and center bore 56.1 ... anyone know? If not what used wheels might fit... it would be great for the car modders and this "for sale" subforum if there were cheap, used, easy bolt on substitutes for the existing Oem wheels.

    I'm not sure about the bolt pattern, etc. But the stock steel and optional alloys on the car are 15 inch...

    So the usual lightweight suspects that are commonly available (older 14 in. MX5/Miatas, Civic VX/HX) won't do the trick.

    They probably shared hardware with the Sentra, so maybe old Sentra wheels might work?

    In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.

    Well, if this site is correct, the 2010- Micra had the same wheel specs as the 03-10 Micra http://www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Nissa...3%20-%202010)/

    And that would be very similar to the pre 2006 Civics, with the exception of larger center bore. And i take your point metro that the 14" or 13" wheels might not clear the braking elements... nonetheless, certain older aftermarket 15" wheels would probably be a candidate... as long as this first blush internet info on the Micra wheel specs is good.

    If you could find MX3 5 spokes wheels, they where made by Enkei and weight less then 10lbs each!
    15x6
    I see them popping sometimes on facebook selling group for quite cheap.

    Here's a set I powder coated last year in wet white, the tire mounted to the wheels are Maxxis in 205/55-15
