Where can I find nice rims that will fit my 1995 Geo Metro? I've tried searching to find out what size I should be looking for. Can't seem to find anything. I know I need the 4-bolt pattern. But not sure if there's anything else I need to know? Total noob here. I have a really nice set of mags on right now, but they came with the Swift I bought a couple of years ago. Like to find something similar. Thanks for your help!

There is another "4-bolt pattern" that will not work. You NEED: 4x114.3 You CAN NOT use: 4x100 |

The all-seasons I'll be putting on are 195/60R14. Don't know if that makes any difference. |

Only makes a difference in that you will need a 14" wheel, not a 13" ![]() So I looked in your photobucket, this is the car/wheels that you like, and want a similar set to, is that correct?

Yes, Mythstae! You're awesome! Those are both my cars. I currently have those nice rims from the blue swift put on my White Geo Metro, as that is the car I'm currently driving. My son will get the blue Swift when he starts driving on his upcoming birthday. However, I have a nice set of all-seasons that I want to put on my white Geo, but no rims for them. Instead of paying extra every time to have a shop switch them over, I thought I'd just get rims. There's a local Facebook group selling rims, but I don't want to buy anything that won't work. Someone posted saying "For sale: 14 inch rims 4x100 and 4x114.3" She says they were on a Metro. Can it fit both sizes? Seems opposite from what you're saying. I'm confused ![]() |

She just replied back saying: "The bolt pattern on those rims is dual, meaning that 4 of them are 4x114.3, and 4 are 4x100. They will definitely fit on your car". Is that possible? |

Yes that is possible, there are 8 holes 4 in each bolt circle. |

My bad! My wording was unclear. I meant that if you buy a set of wheels with only ONE set of bolt holes, they MUST be 4x114.3 to work.
Yeah, what he said!The wheels you're looking at have 8 holes - or two sets, of four holes. One set is the kind you need; the others are just extra. That is VERY common with aftermarket wheels.

Oh, ok, awesome!!! Thanks so much! Do you know if they can still be found new? I've tried looking these up online at Costco and another local store, and it says there's nothing for my 1995. Surely they must be compatible for another make? It won't let me search by size, and it lists stuff with "kit" and stuff like that. I don't get it. Would a dealership sell 4x114.3 pattern ones? Or do I have to go to an auto wrecker to see if I can find something? I'd like something nice like what I have in the picture above for my blue car. Looks perfectly made for a 4-bolt pattern instead of 8 holes. Edited by Jenny, May 2 2015, 08:42 PM.

If you look up aftermarket wheels for a 1994 Suzuki Swift Gt there will be wheel options. They came with 14" wheels and there are many choices in 14" and 15" available. There appears to be no aftermarket wheels in 13" anymore on the "Tirerack" site. |

Yeah, I've never been a fan of multi-pattern wheels for that very reason! I just want my wheel to have the holes I need - no extra ones! |
