If anyone is considering the dual bolt pattern Estrellas in 13 X 5.5" be aware that they are in 4 X 100mm and 4 X 108mm. There is a single pattern Estrella in that size for 4 X 114.3mm.
However, the 14 X 6" Estrellas do come in both Festiva and Aspire dual patterns. Just make sure to confirm before buying.

I hate the steel plates worse than the holes.
Very true. I drive my car very hard, with no regard for potholes, dips or speed bumps. Heck just this morning I jumped it down a 6" curb at about 20mph to avoid being trapped in parking lot traffic. My oz wheels stay perfectly round with 185/45 tires . They were designed for a car that weighs twice what my festiva does, and they were cheap cheap.

Edit: Yours are 4x114 though aren't they?"Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy."

Also Charlie, what diameter? Where did you get either 185/45-14s or -15s? I'm guessing the latter.

The wheels are off a Lancer OZ edition. They pop up on craigslist often. Just missed a set for 60 bucks two weeks ago. I bought 2 sets for 200 bucks about 5 months ago. I got the 185/45/15 tires on eBay from a seller in Nevada, but they were drop shipped from Germany. They were 600 shipped, but I'm working on getting a local tire company to carry them.Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege.
