mazda wheels iirc, unless it's Napster's K11, they're nismo wheels.

If youre referring to the Japanese March Pics, then most if not all are probably Watanabe Wheels.

As robert says, the mazda wheels. I've seen them on the 1st gen MX-5's (with the flip up headlights) and some MX-3's, so start there I guess.

I was actually considering getting Watanabe R's for my car, although the offset and pcd seem entirely wrong, so how they going on Micra/Marchs?
May think about some MX5 wheels instead, although I really want some nice black Watanabe's....

so was i originally

you can get them in 4x100 offsets +35/+40 on a 14" 6j rim (just checked the japanese site), on a 7j your offsets are way down to single figures...trouble is finding/shipping them secondhand, as they arent cheap new.

Could try superlight on these shores, won't have the JDM cool. I'm sure they supply in 4x100 because of the number of dubbers i'v seen using their wheels.

Hmm definitely going to have to think about it! I don't mind about the JDM look so much, they're just beautiful wheels!
Superlites, Watanabes, Miata wheels- I'm gonna have to think about this!

 

[Robb]

Superlites rule.

Wow just checked out the superlite wheels, now they look pretty shweet, and i am pretty tempted! now i no nothing about wheels at all, so what should i look for when it comes to choosing a set of wheels. I mean i would like something 14 inch plus, but i dont understand what the other number means. for example it says 8 x 15 (they are £95 each, which sounds wicked!!) would these fit ??

 

[MicraFish]

That 8 inches width by 15 diameter. PCD should be 100, and offset is 35-40 IIRC. hOwever I'm no expert so I better leave it to them!

 

[micra_tom]

Oh kk, thanks for that dude. Yeah sounds awesome, gonna get some photoshop mock ups done in the morn, really starting to think i should get myself a set of these..all i keep thinking about is what my insurance company are gonna do once i get them (done a quote yesterday, with all mods declared, and future mods that i want to do, nothing extreme just a back box, alloys etc. Came out just under £3000. MY CAR IS A 1.0 lol) so feeling a bit towards modifying at the mo soz to go off topic.. but thanks for your help matey!

No worries man
Unfortunately, insurance companies will slaughter you on any car until you're at least 21. You doing TPFT or fully comp? I did TPFT at £400 on my old LX, which wasn't too hairy with Direct Line - although I didn't mod it for the four years I had it.
Good luck dude
