    Which one look best ?

    I am trying to decide between those 2 wheels, Fast Wheels Orbit 15'' or the DAI Frantic black gloss...which one do you think look best ? Here are photoshopped pics of my car with both wheels :

    I like the Frantic wheels better. That's an awesome looking Micra.

    Thanks for the help. I will probably go with the Frantic. What made me hesitate is the 4x100 setup. The Frantic has a pattern that is more suited for a 5-nut wheel, and with the 4-nut pattern, the bolts are going inside the pattern. This wheel looks like it's been designed for 5x... and adapted for the 4x... There is no other option than to put the holes and bolts where they need to be, regardless of the pattern on the wheel. This is noticeable on the black and blue, or red. Not sure it would be so noticeable in a totally black wheel with black nuts and bolts though.

    and with the 5-nut configuration :

    Whichever you choose, I love the black wheels on your car! Just curious where you got that stripe from??

    I gave up. Seems none of these wheels will fit in the 15'', but they fit in the 16'' except that I could not get a 16'' X-Ice to fit, nor a Nokian. the 16'' wheels are 7'' wide, so the p185 does not fit it.

    Shopping for these was a real nightmare. I think I placed 6 orders at different places only to be told the order was canceled and refunded because it would not fit.

    I have no clue how the other forum members managed to install the Orbit 15'', but I was told by the manufacturer that it would not fit and the wheels would require a wheel spacer hub centric. NO clue what size it would need to be. They told me the 16'' wheels would fit, but now at 7'' getting a winter tire was not fun. I don't want a YOYO machin or another brand. I only trust the Michelin X-Ice Snow or the Nokian, which would not fit those wheels.

    I ended up ordering Michelin X-Ice P185/60/R16 as the standard for my SR and will put them on my 16'' Nissan Micra silver wheels, which I will paint black with plastidip.

    That's it. I am done with shopping for mag wheels.

    I have 15" RSSW Velocity in matte grey installed on my Micra. Got them for a deal and they fit very well. Had to get hub rings and the offset does bring the wheel out a tad but they look great. I ended up going with a 195/60 tire as it better fit the 6.5" rim and helped correct the speedometer difference.

    Yes it looks good but I want in black and I placed an order for these at canadian tire and was going to plastidip them in black but yesterday I received an email saying the wheels which were in stock when I placed the order are now back order and not available so they refunded me.

    The world is talking ?
