Need ideas for a 80s-ish looking 13"-14" wheel

nickthegenius · Mar 11th, 2003, 02:03 PM

Looking for some decent looking and fairly strong wheels to put on my '90 Sentra. I want something that looks good, but something that looks like it belongs on the car. Nothing flashy, just something cheap that I could pick up at a junkyard or maybe on Ebay or something. Could even be a factory wheel if there were any nice looking ones offered. I use the car everyday and sometimes gets into some rough stuff dropping kayaks so they can't be easily bendible. Prefer 13" or 14" to keep the tires cheap.

It used to have some 16" tuner-style 10-spoke wheels, but they were extremely harsh and too many problems blowing tires.

Thanks for any ideas!

Won't the B13 SE-R wheels fit the B12? I think those wheels would look great on the B12.

I just realized that there is a thread a few threads down about rims for the B12. The 1st or 2nd generation Altimas will fit the B12.

This site has many different OEM wheels http://www.wheels-and-rims.com/ Remember that VW, and Honda wheels fit our cars too. There are some nice old-skool Toyota Corolla and Celica rims that MIGHT fit too, but I'm not sure about those.

Hey, that top pic is the same one's on my '85 SE Hatchback.

Of course I think the '90 Sentra has a 4 x 100mm bolt pattern and the B11/N12 (83-86) has a 4 x 4 1/2" (4x114.3mm) pattern.

Right after I posted I realized and changed it. Damn they're nice though

Doh, came back and was like...Whoah...what happened to the pic...too funny.

I'll be selling them later this year when I buy some new ones. They have Pirelli P400's (175/70-13) with alot of tread. Missing one center cap.

Yep MkI-MkIII GTi rims will fit no problem. My faves are the MkII teardrops and the 12 cross-spokes.

yeah my friend has those on his golf
then porsche audi rims should also fit
this could be much cheaper

Idea #1: Try the round hole wheels from a mid-80s Dodge Charger Turbo?? that kinda look like the middle picture above. I believe they have the correct bolt circle because they fit my buddy's GTI.

Idea #2: The mid-80s 200sx had an aluminum wheel I would characterize as a snowflake design that might look good. I assume the bolt circle is the same.

I'll see if I can find pics somewhere.

i don't think so no offence but i fucking hate mopar and all of their shitty cars, it's bad enough my car has an outo but i don't want something off of a car that needs a tranny every time you change the oil

WRONG!! Porsche and Audi both use five bolt hubs. The only Golf they will fit is the new one (MkIV). The older golfs (MkI-MkIII) use the 4X100mm pattern.

NO it is you that is wrong grasshopper

my friend with the golf 4 bolt has a porsche 924 at his house with 4 bolt hubs and an old audi fox the EXACT same as a volks fox but some audis have 4 bolts as well
