    Wheel Suggestion

    I would like to replace my oem wheels, I was thinking of getting either advanti or konig wheels that I found at 4wheelonline. Can anyone suggest a good model or brand that would look good for my silver Mirage.

    Wheel choice is as personal as women choice. Different strokes for different folks.

    People on here do not like my bigger 15" enkeis:



    But like my 14" No-brand wheels:

    I'm the opposite :P
    I love your enkeis but dislike your 14s.
    I would never go down in size with wheels. And when I finally can be bothered to buy new wheels, I'll be getting 15" like what came on the car, just wider.

    Technically, the 14's are upgrades because they are 6 wide, I think. I get enough grip with them, but still spin on a hard launch.

    I did my first tire rotation for the car last week (hit 5k miles!!). I know a lot of people have gripes with the smallish 14's..but I gotta say - I like 'em!

    Doing tire rotation with the stock 14 steels..a breeze! They are so light! I feel like I am working on a toy!

    And that's another reason I love the car so much. As we all know through the popular critiques of the Mirage that it is a car found in the lower strata of the automotive pecking order. However for me, I think of the Mirage more so as THE ultimate Go-Kart! Anyone would kill to have such a tricked out Go-Kart!

    The fact that I'm using a bicyle foot pump to keep the little 14's inflated furthers this impression even more.

    You can get wheelspin? How..?
    My car even in the wet struggles to light up the front wheels.

    R u serious? If it's wet I get wheelspin everyday on the slope at my workplace. Quite a long spin as well, for a 1.0L.
