You need them to be:
6.5x15
with 195/45/15 tyres
PCD of 98x4 or 100x4 with wobbly bolts
Offset of 35mm with minimum of 3mm spacers to make it 38mm.

What wheels you thinking of getting?

Yeah most 4x100 wheels are ford fitment and normally come with 195/50 tyres which are no good.

Hi mate,

you can fit 7x15 with 195/45 on the car.
You can find them at Novitec.
CentoEvo: 35mm offset with 3mm spacers will make it 32mm offset, or?
But .... I drove the 7x15 Novitec on a Cinquecento:
- nice look
- real loss of handling, the car felt heavier, the acceleration and top speed really suffered (as if 10-15hp were missing, way more noticable than turning on the AC which really slows you down) and the fuel compumption went up
> won't really recommend it

Yes fitting 15's do affect acceleration, it raises your gearing by 10% with 45 profile tyres fitted, so at 50mph your doing 55, 70 you doing 77 etc.
Takes a second longer to 60 mph, apparently.
I just prefer the way my Sei looks on 15's rather than how it go's, its a sheep in wolfs clothing! :D

i think i'll prolly end up just getting a set of 14's, looks are one thing but its 0-30 acceleration is the only thing the sei has going for it!
