14" steel wheels?

Feb 11th, 2003, 08:51 PM

Hey guys-

I am almost embarassed to ask this, after seeing all you that have 18" wheels and all... my girlfriend drives a '95 GXE, which I often drive, and it of course has the factory 13" wheels, and the sloppy handling that results. My goal is to upgrade this as cheaply as possible, preferably to 14" wheels.

I see that the GLE came with alloy 14" for the B14, but I was hoping to spend less.. does anyone know if the steel wheels from the B15 will fit our cars? I was able to find the specs for my car- 100mm bolt circle, 40mm backspacing, but cannot for the newer car... anyone have any ideas?

THanks in advance...

Welcome to the BB. Th eB15 wheels will not fit. However you can get any of the B14 wheels or B13 wheels for your car. This includes the NX wheels as well.

Thats a good idea.
Have you looked at the tire dealers that peddle snow tyres, they have a good selection of steel wheels? Will look and see what I can find.
My 2001 Sunny B15 had 4 x 115 mm, so this will not fit.

Yeah,
I reccomend NX2000 SE-R rims. If you ever get in the mood of a brake upgrade, they'll fit under those 14" rims.

How do the NX2000 SE-R rims look like? Are they the same as the 200sx SE-R rims?

I bet he ment NX2k or SE-R rims. If you live near a pick'n'pull you can go get a set for rims for like 100 bucks.

Thanks for all the replies- it looks like the pulsar/nx2000/200sx route will be the best bet- I like the junkyard idea (got a really cheap set of aluminum 15" for a long dead Tempo that way) but will unfortunately have to wait until the temperature is somewhere above 20 degrees

I have some nice 99 GXE Sentra alloys.
They are pretty expensive from the dealership, but I will let all 4 go for $200.00 plus shipping. The tires have very little life left, but the wheels are in good condition.

Just some FYI, I tried putting some stock civic ex wheels on my car for winter, so i could let my rims hibernate, and they didnt fit right. I think the depth of the wheels were different, it ended up messing up one of my wheel studs.

Honda's have rounded lug nuts, so if they do not seat properly that could be the cause of the problem.

Pics of my car are floating aroud. You can see it in the members rides area, or just mess aournd with the page in the 'www' part below.

Slosentra I have some cheap alloy wheels for sale .14"

I looked into other mfrs wheels first as well- the neon, and some volkswagons look close also, but the problem always seems to be the center hole- the one on our Sentra is larger than most, it seems...
