Most Russian drivers are well acquainted with the “legendary nine”. AvtoVAZ produced this car for about 10 years. After appearing on the market, it quickly became the most popular in Russia. After the restoration of the VAZ 2109, car enthusiasts saw the new VAZ 2114 Lada (LADA).
The design is distinguished by its simplicity and high reliability. In addition, its shape and design features allow for tuning, changing its appearance, modernizing the body, and improving the interior.
Of course, such work requires large financial costs. However, there is one item that does not require a lot of money, but gives a good visual result. We are talking about replacing wheel rims.
Popular options
Most passenger vehicles ride on rims measuring 13-16 inches. Today, installing low-profile tires has become very popular.
According to drivers, it improves car handling. It can be safely installed on a VAZ 2114. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are cars with 14-15-inch wheels on the roads.
When carrying out sports tuning, more modern brake mechanisms are installed. Their overall dimensions are slightly larger than standard parts, so it becomes impossible to install factory wheels back.
It is for this reason that R15 wheels are installed on the car. A conventional design with this diameter will have a width in the range of 3.5 - 7 inches. If this is a sports modification, it can reach up to 13 inches.
When choosing a rim for a specific tire, you must remember that its width should be 20% less than the tire profile.

Alloy wheels
Owners of VAZ 2114, in order to give their car a more attractive look, install alloy wheels.
pros
They differ from standard designs in a number of advantages:
- The weight is much less than the stamped counterpart.
- Increase the service life of the car and all its components.
- Reduce fuel consumption.
- Promotes improved cooling of the brake system.
There is a wide range of alloy wheels on the market. Their original design makes the car more attractive. In fact, this is one of the simplest types of tuning.
Minuses
Unfortunately, the structures are not very flexible. In the event of a strong impact, they crack or split into several parts. This phenomenon is very dangerous when the car is moving at speed.
Over time, oxidation of the side surfaces occurs. Therefore, light alloy rims need to be constantly monitored and maintained.
The price is much higher than the cost of metal analogues.
Why is the Perseus Priora color attractive to modern buyers?
A distinctive characteristic of the Priora Perseus is the color, which allows you to highlight the exterior of the car. This tone goes well with chrome inserts. The front of the vehicle with a large nameplate and shiny metal inserts on the grille will look very stylish.
Regular lenses on the headlights also look good. But to improve the appearance, it is recommended to replace old lamps with new bright lights.
In various photos of the Priora color Perseus you can see how important it is to have the right combination of body shades and the selected wheels. Good combinations with aluminum alloy wheels
The pleasant shine of the metal perfectly emphasizes the shade of the body.
Ordinary steel wheels are not suitable for a dark blue stylish car, so after purchasing a vehicle it is recommended to install original wheels. Additionally, to improve the exterior, you can perform the following equipment:
1. Install roof rails.
2. Replace running lights.
3. Install new bumpers and grilles.
4. Install new covers on the side mirrors (with the turn signals removed).
Forged
For several years in a row, forged wheels have been in constant demand. Their dimensions are perfect for a modified VAZ 2114.
Advantages
Several advantages can be highlighted:
- Very high strength. They are superior to stampings in all respects.
- Light weight, approximately equal to the weight of light alloy models.
- External attractiveness.
- They are characterized by high rigidity. They are considered very reliable, with a sensitive blow they only bend a little. Moreover, steel products are deformed much more strongly.
Forged wheels never rust. They do not require careful maintenance like their cast counterparts.
Flaws
There is only one negative property of forged models - their very high cost.
What does metallic mean?
Metallic paint is a type of auto enamel to which aluminum powder pigment has been added. The metal filling makes the composition reflective. The body begins to shine and sparkle in the sun.
The advantages of the technology include the fact that the surface of the body better reflects heat, so the interior heats up in the sun much less.
In addition, metallic has high anti-corrosion properties, so saffron milk caps appear less frequently.
Additional aluminum particles protect the paint from fading. The car looks “new” for much longer.
In order to correctly purchase painted body parts in the color of your car, you need to determine the color or code of the auto enamel that matches your car.
Please note: AVTOVAZ has its own palette of auto enamels that are used to paint all cars produced from the assembly line without exception. Each color has a corresponding name and enamel code
For example: the most common color for VAZ cars is “silver” and it corresponds to an auto enamel called “Snow Queen” and enamel code 690.
Many people mistakenly believe that the color can be determined by looking at the name in the PTS, but this is not at all true since the PTS does not write the name of the car enamel: “Snow Queen”, Milky Way”, “Quartz”, but the description of the color “Light silver”, “Graphite metallic” “, “Medium gray-green metallic.”
The question arises: “How to correctly determine the color of a car?”
There are several proven ways to determine the color of a VAZ car:
1. Find the factory label in the car with the name and enamel number. As a rule, it is located under the car trunk lid or in the spare wheel well.
2. Try to choose the color yourself using the table of the full color range of AVTOVAZ car enamels. The full table of VAZ car enamels can be viewed on our website:
3. If none of the above methods suits you or you have doubts about determining the color, you can come to us at the address: Yekaterinburg, st. Blucher 19, and our specialists will easily determine the name of the color of your car.
Once the color is determined, you can safely purchase the part you need in the color, be it a bumper, fender or hood, or order parts of the color you need from us without worrying about the parts matching the color of your car.

A little history
AvtoVAZ has prepared several wheel rim options for the “fourteenth” model. The installation of one or another depended on the configuration - standard or luxury. The manufacturer did not specifically offer a wide variety, since he understood that for such a simple car, buyers are unlikely to want to spend extra money on additional options.
The differences in the wheels on the standard and luxury trim levels were also minimal. All of them were stamped, only the more expensive versions had additional decorative caps.
After the planned restyling of the VAZ 2114, which took place in 2009, the range of wheels available for the model was replenished with cast sets. Of course, they were the prerogative of the luxury package.
How to find out the color of a VAZ car
The label with the body color number of domestic cars can be found on the trunk lid, in the glove compartment, in the spare tire niche near the spare wheel or under it, under the brake light on the spoiler. This simple piece of paper is called Form 3347. It can be difficult to find, easy to lose, and easy to forget. Therefore, if it is found, champions recommend writing down the number and name of the paint with a marker on the inside of the gas tank flap. If you have a used car, check to see if someone has already done this.
Please also note that the color code is also written on the warranty card. What else can you do to find out “what is my Lada painted?” An alternative is to contact the dealer from whom you bought the car, which only works naturally if the dealer is a completely official organization.

If you do not have any documentary evidence indicating the color your car is painted, you can try to establish this using the LADA painting plan at the factory. To do this, you need to know the exact date (year, month, day +/-) of the release of your car and it should not be younger than 2005. If you know the date, write to us and we will try to find out the color of the car this way.
However, the surest way to determine color is to contact a colorist. And you can choose the right shade if you show the colorist the gas tank flap, with the help of which a specialist using special equipment will be able to make paint for you exactly in the color and in the volume you need - tint, spray can or can. Actually, all this can be done in our computer paint selection laboratories.
