    I've had several rims on my Micra over the years. You can look up my profile to see a few of them. It basically comes down to preference as far as what your looking for. The bolt pattern is 4x100 which is pretty common so they come up regularly on marketplace or Kijiji if you go with a second hand set. As long as its not a crazy offset you should be ok. I would recommend something between a 14" to 16", but 17" will also fit with a lower profile tire. I've used a tire size comparison chart online to keep the overall diameter as close to stock as possible to keep the speedometer close.

    There's also a gallery here if click on "our garage" on the top left of the home page and click on "wheel and rim gallery" tab at the top.

    From this morning,
    HI, that looks good. what are the specs for the wheels ? 15'' ? what offset ? wheel dept ?

    I am still looking for wheels for my car. It's been quite difficult to find something either the manufacturer will say they fit and the dealer says they don't and cancel my order, or it's the opposite and the dealer says it fits but the manufacturer says it won't. It's a nightmare.

    For example, the Fast Orbit wheels are supposed to fit in the 15'' according to 1010tires, but on the manufacturer Fastco website, they say the 16'' will fit but not the 15''.

    I tried calling and writing to the manufacturer but no response to my email whatsoever, and no way to contact them, They have horrible customer service.

    The same thing for the DAI Frantic, the dealer says the 15'' will fit but the manufacturer says the 16'' will but not the 15''. I managed to talk to that company and they were helpful. But I cannot order that wheel because the dealer says it won't fit and canceled. It's a freak show.

    I gave up and ordered the snow tires in 16'' and will put them on my RS 16'' wheels. But in spring I will need to buy some wheels, either 15'' or probably 16'', and summer tires, so return to square 1.

    Why is it so hard to buy wheels for the Micra???
