Wheel recommendations 4x100 / Photoshop masters, can I borrow your skills?

**Swainey32** · 18-04-2013, 08:12 PM

I know, not a vw, not a euro, not even close, but this is the only forum I'm on and don't want to put my name on a Mitsubishi fully sick forum haha

The gf got a new mirage, that pink one, they call it mulburry, what ever that means, but as a man, I only know a few colours, so I'll call it pink

I got this off the internet

Can any recommend some wheels to go on this? It has 4x100 15" x 5" rims with 175/55 R15 tyres and it just looks silly haha

It's actually fairly impressive for a 1.2L, 3 cylinder, 57kW monster

haha at 4.6L/100km, it does alright.

Thanks for your help, if this offends the peoples of the forum, you can delete it

Might need to find the offset to find a proper match.

Whats the tyre specs?

get something designed for a BWM, will add some width.
bit hard without the offset.
175s lol! no wonder the fuel economy is so good, there isnt any contact with the ground

i would be $20 that the offset is a 40-50 or something silly like that.

You'd probably want to be looking for 'generic' 4x100 wheels, that suit civics, lancers etc etc etc.

I'd look at getting something unoffensive in a 15 x~6.5". with a slightly lower offset to fill out the archs a bit better (I imagine there isn't a whole heap of room to play)

Yeah I’d imagine the very tiny contact point makes a significant assistance in the fuel economy, so probably going wider will damage that but it just looks silly

I read on a thai forum (so many ricey mirages in Thailand haha) et 40. I can only really find rota wheels, cringe :S but i’ll find something eventually.

Yeah I think you’re right, Thailand forum reckons et 40, the is actually a decent amount in there, surprising, someone had 8” with a bit of poke lol

Funny you say that, when I picked it up, I had to drive past a group of tradies who all looked and laughed

I would have killed for tint haha
