    going to get new wheels - learning as I go, what do you guys think?

    Hi!

    So this is my first new car! I wanna get some nice shoes to put on this baby but I've never bought custom wheel before. I really like these stance wheels but I don't know if they come in the right size.

    Any feedback would be much appreciated. Would these fit on my 2017 Mirage SE?

    Thanks!
    Naomi

    Those tires look like they would cost more than the car! lol

    I'm not sure they would fit, they look pretty big. The Mirage comes with 14" wheels. Some models come with 15".

    Mind if I ask why you are thinking about changing your wheels?

    +1 What is your goal?

    If you just want to improve the looks of the car, that's completely understandable. I replaced my stock wheels/tires before my car had 800 miles on it.

    But keep in mind that this is a small, lightweight, fuel efficient car. If you put big, heavy wheels on it and don't use Low Rolling Resistance tires, your fuel mileage will go down significantly. If great fuel mileage is a primary reason you bought the car, you will need to choose your new wheels/tires carefully if you hope to maintain it.

    You can read about my wheels/tires HERE. Even if you don't like the wheels I chose, there are still some good website tools listed in my post to help you compare wheels/tires and make an educated decision.

    Definitely get some 15" alloys. Don't go any bigger honestly. I still got stock steelies and planning to get bronze Konigs.
