Thinking about putting some wheels on my V now that nice weather is here... a friend is selling these. They are on his turbo e30 right now. Decent price, and 17's. How do you think they would look on my silver hatch?

You need to find out what the back spacing is... and if the wheels accommodate 4 x 114.3, looks like they might. Nice E30, but it does need better wheels.

E30 – 4 x 100Versa – 4 x 114.3

though only 15" the infiniti g20 came with very similar wheels and could be found fairly cheap. Best part is they are 4x4.5. The offset is +42, I don't know if that's good or back on a versa? I'm new to the "V" world.

Yeah, those G20 wheels are a great suggestion. 15x6 and 45offset should work really well on the Versa.

This is what they look like.

The Infiniti cap on them is probably the same size as the Nissan cap on stock Versa alloys, too, so you can swap it out to complete the look.

I like the ones on the E30, too. Very nice. Just make sure the offset's right for the V. RWD cars usually work with significantly different offsets than FWD cars.

those are nice. I would rock them except I prefer a basic five or six spoke design. But if the price were right I wouldn't kick them out of bed for eating crackers.

Haha use the term "nice" loosely... he still needs to fill in all the rust holes and rebuild the engine internals so it can handle the boost it has now. Keeps breaking stuff.

I really don't know much about wheels, but he seems to, and says they should fit. I have no idea what back spacing is though... lol anyone care to educate me?

His is all wheel drive (its a 325iX). And the person he bought them from had them on a VW Golf.

I am diggin those infinity wheels though... although part of my wanting bigger wheels is to help fill in the wheel wells. Would just putting springs on with the 15" infinity wheels do this?

These are 02' Touring G20 chrome spoke's on my V. I believe it's something like 98-01 G20's had the 4 bolt and then they changed somewhere in 02'. You either find them dirt cheap or if you go on G20 forum they think they're gold plated. I found a set to run my snow tires on which is a mistake w/aluminum wheels and salt+ corrosion= bead leaks. My daughter just got an 08' base Sentra and she wants a set of either the 6 or 12 spoke. I picked up the chrome G20's w/good Pirelli tires for $275 off of CL. The painted ones were off Sleazebay and I think were $150 shipped but I had a $50 off coupon from PayPal. I'd buy another set in a minute if I could.I did put 5mm spacers on the fronts as the V's rotors looked dam close for me. It was either that or grinding some off the rotors but warranty issues in the future and I did the spacers. I would think 3mm spacer would work. The 5mm spacers still gave me 9-10 turns on the lugs. It's a perfect rim to custom paint.
