Passenger Wheels

Sharpen up your sedan, hatch, wagon or sports car with more than 1,170 wheels from $150, from 13-inch classics to 22-inch statement wheels. Eighteen inches has the most choice, then 20, 17 and 19.

Car bolt patterns we stock most

• 5x114.3: more than 350 wheels for most Toyota, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia, Honda and Nissan cars.
• 5x112: Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and many newer BMWs.
• 5x120: older BMWs and the VT to VF Commodore. The VS and earlier Commodores used 5x120.65.
• 5x108: many Volvos plus the Ford Focus and Mondeo.
• 5x100: cars such as the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ.

Dual-drilled wheels such as 10x108-114.3 fit more cars. They usually have a larger centre bore, so plan on a hub-centric ring.

Plus-sizing done right

Going up an inch or two looks great. Keep the overall tyre diameter close to standard so the speedo reads true and the tyre clears the guards. That means a lower profile, sharper steering and a firmer ride.

Staggered sets

Some rear-drive cars run wider wheels at the back. Many designs here come in two widths, so you can match a staggered factory setup. Staggered wheels cannot be rotated front to rear.

Before you buy

• Brake clearance. Big performance brakes can rule out some spoke designs.
• Offset. Front-drive cars are sensitive to offset changes, so stay close to factory.
• Centre bore. Use a ring if the wheel bore is bigger than your hub.
• Tyres. Check performance tyres come in your new size.

Brands to explore

American Racing and Niche have the most car wheels, followed by Rotiform, Motegi and Petrol.

Pick a style that suits your car

• European sedans and hatches: Rotiform and Niche designs in 5x112.
• Japanese performance cars: Motegi and Konig for a lighter, tuner look.
• Muscle cars and classics: American Racing five-spokes such as the Torq Thrust.
• Daily drivers: simple multi-spoke designs in 16 to 18 inches keep tyre costs down.

Common questions

Will 19-inch wheels make my ride harsher?

Usually a little, because the tyre sidewall gets shorter. See the 19-inch range and compare profiles.

I drive a crossover. Is this the right page?

Try SUV wheels as well, since many crossovers share car patterns.

Do new wheels need new wheel nuts?

Sometimes. Aftermarket car wheels can use a conical seat where factory wheels used a ball seat, or the reverse, so check before fitting.

Are lighter wheels worth paying for?

On a performance car, lighter wheels can sharpen steering and ride. On a daily driver, the gain is small.
