  • Found Some Wheels at JY! Need some help!

    So I found some spiffy 1995 Kia Sephia alloys today when picking up my Aspire brake swap parts. But Im really unsure what tires I need. I've used the search but I get all sorts of different things v.v
    All I know is that they are 14" I think 5.5
    I wasn't able to find any info on the wheels when I goggled Kia Sephia OEM Alloys
    I also need to order struts, what would you guys recommend?

    Maybe those are aftermarket wheels?

      You're right, I dont think they are OEM. All it says is Made in China and a model number, no other information on them. The Brand logo is something I've never seen before

        Yeah, they have an aftermarket look to them...especially those center caps.

          Best bet is to try to install them on an 'Aspired' Festy. Hub hole is easy to measure for (or fit on direct) as is bolt spacing but whether they clear the front calipers and the rear shock perches is something else. 5.5 inch wide rims are not rash (size-wise for width) and likely as not they were made to fit ordinary Mazda/Honda/Toyota/VW/Kia/Hyundai etc. See if you can get a '30 day' or 'good fit' guarantee.

            I know the Bolt Pattern is good. Clearing the calipers and what not i'm not too sure.. They dont say the offset or anything. Guess We will find out once I get the Festivas swap on next week. Paid $80 for the set.. hopfully they go on because I really wanted to avoid paying craigs list prices I got the Monroe struts and stock springs.. Bought them last month.

              If they were on a Sephia and seemed to fit that normally I'd bet that the offset is close if not dead on. For tires, I would run a 185/60R14, they are cheap and pretty easy to get. Some folks use a 195/45R14 but I think those are waaay too short of a sidewall.
              No festiva for me ATM...

                I like fat side walls.. I live in a city were the roads are horrible. I'm going for comfort here If I want backache I'll jump in my Mustang lol I wont have issues with rubbing on a stock suspension with 185/60R14? Those were the tires actually on the wheels but I took them off since they were pretty bad shape..

                    Haha.. I looked all around the yard for some decent wheels. Nothing but steelies and the nices once I'd find would be missing a wheel or two. These were the only ones I found complete with 4x100

                      Nothing wrong with a good set of steelies, cleaned and painted!

                          Ditto.

                          Still on the hunt for some decent 13" or 14" wheels.

                          Has anyone tried any of the old Honda rims that were 4x114.3?
                          I think after I get my paycheck Friday, I am going to spend the day at upullandpay, and look at wheels on every car with the 4x114.3 bolt pattern, and test fit them to one of the two festies they have there.

                            Typically at my JY if they are steelies, they get welded together for car stands. Rare to find a car with all 4 matching or complete, that's why I jumped on them.
