Anyone ever used them? I guess theyre 14x5 and 4x114.3. They kinda look like Honda VX rims but are same bolt pattern as a festy and 14". Kinda narrow at 5" though.

They are also made out of magnesium and are very light. My friend has a set on his Swift GT with 185-60-14s.Current cars:

It's a good thing you don't read the stickies, you might of learned something.

I got them. They are great wheels. The offset seems to work fine, haven't ever measured it though. I am running 195/45R14. My only beef is that the centerbore is slightly big, like 14 thou on the radius. It doesn't sound like much, but it's caused vibration for me. I use strips of paper to center the wheel now, so it's a bit tedious.BP powered 91 Festiva L

I've been thinking about the hub fit. I may one day try to get a material (plastic or aluminum?) in the appropriate thickness and cut a small thin strip to wrap around the Festiva or Aspire hub, perhaps gluing it as well. This would be much cheaper than buying one of those hubcentric rings, though it would be more trouble and may not last too long. But how often do you remove all your wheels?
