Falken Circuit Spec Rims Gunmetal....help

Post by Lionswillcomeback »

I have an 09 Vibe 2.4L. I am about to buy the 18x7 Falken Circuit Spec Rims rims. From what I have read, my bolt pattern is 5x114. I thought the rims where that too, but may have just read they are 5x100. Can anyone confirm they will fit or not on my Vibe?

not if they are 5x100.... Have a look at Rota... They copy just about every cool wheel out there... they are cheap too... but prolly wouldn't be the same quality as the falkens, or as light either..

http://www.falkentire.com/Whee...pec-1 is the website I used. It looks like it is simple: One of two models: 75101007(fits) 75101005 doesn't! Is it that simple? I have emailed the guy I am buying them from to see. Am I correct? Thanks for the fast thoughts already!

Dude is helping me putting them on tomorrow afternoon. Pretty cool. Tires-"18" Falken Circuit Spec Rims wrapped in Falken Ziex tires 225/40/R18". I am paying 450.00 and supposedly have 500 miles on em...pics look legit in the tread department. I asked and he said I should add a catback exhaust when I asked about them...Is that sweet?

I have no idea how to have it lowered.... and what are your thoughts on fixing my paint/clearcoat blotches? One guys says I run water over them continuously while using a sandpaper of 2000 or something to smooth them over, but it won't make the dark blue go away..... HELP
