I say do what you think looks best, after all, it is your car. Who cares what other people think?

Steelies look less ghetto imo than say...

Take a look at the following..

1 it shows that even DEALERS have problems with these wheel covers

2 using the pic it's a good comparison to how your car would look with steelies..

its not about how your car looks, we have a few stock Versa's... we just want to get together have a good time express ideas and spread a little knowledge and have fun with a small tight knit community that is slowly on the rise... just come on out have a good time and learn a little something...

Damn thats a big wheel gap!

As for the hubs, if they're anything like the 1.8l S versa's hubcaps, I'd get some cheap walmarts ones or something. Nissan's are terrible. A driver the other day, lost a hubcap driving down the road, its been her 4th one from Nissan because they keep breaking on their own. And I know mine sucked on my old Versa. They're cheaply made.

Still dreaming for a Versa....
