New to the site, had no idea the versa I bought to save on gas was such a fun car. I bought the super stripped base model, no frills. I'm looking for a reasonably priced set of factory alloy wheels in southern california.

Welcome and I'm assuming you have a 1.6 sedan then? It is an awesome car. Once you get use to the electric steering it handles like a go kart.

 

[superskunk]

how much are you looking to spend? and where exactly are you located?

 

[robj80]

Just a heads up the following cars wheels will also fit our V's

1993-2001 altima
2000+ 4 lug sentra
89-98 240sx 4lug
1991-2002 infiniti G20
Volvo s40/v40 not sure which years
lancer not sure which years

Figured I would throw that out there.

i'm looking to spend a couple hundred bucks, don't know if i should just get some 16 or 17 inch aftermarkets. I'm in midway city, Close to huntington beach, ca

 

[iluvmyVersa08]

I would rather put the money into aftermarket rims and tires

we are going to a meet this thursday, at sonics up in fullerton....

I love factory wheels. I like the stockish look. Most aftermarkets unless spending good money look too racer for me.

 

[AusTiida]

Hmmmm, hope mine won't look 'racer' :S

 

[robj80]

Don't worry AusTiida. Nobody usually shares my opinion on OEM wheels. I am strange in that way. I just really like the look of them. Everyone I know prefers any aftermarket wheel.

the SL rims are enkei's

OEM just means the company nissan uses to make the part. It doesn't mean made by nissan. So in this case enkei's are OEM because that is who nissan contracted to produce the wheel. You will find a ton of names in your car like calsonic, mitsubishi, hitatchi, yazaki, akebono, nippon. Actually come to think of it does nissan make anything?

 

[superskunk]

calsonic makes the resonator for the versa

 

[villageidiot]

i'll try and make it to sonic tomorrow, i'll be in a silver sedan.

how do you know about this?

 

[superskunk]

its stamped on the inside of the rim....

 

[sclayton325]

Yea ive been looking around for cheap stock rims that i cant just powdercoat black
i agree nothing looks better on a car than the rims designed for it.
just "personalized"
benifits of going to school for auto classes is you getta use the equpiment for free
=D

 

[Hschlick84]

The OEM rims fit the Versa perfect, I think the aftermarket wheels I chose are tasteful and are not over the top. I use the OEM wheels during the winter and aftermarket for the summer.

 

[Jerad]

Is it just me or do the factory alloy's make the wheels on the v look tiny. The steels /w hubs look like a bigger wheel all around.

 

[Tubtub]

stock versa wheels ftw! They're great looking. If i were gunna upgrade to a performance rim i wouldnt go bigger than 16 inch. Cause then the sidewall starts getting to thin and ride quailty goes out the window.
