Yep... 2009 - 2010 2.4L = 5 x 114.32009 - 2010 1.8L = 5 x 100You're not a moron. It's confusing since all older Vibes are 5 x 100. You'd think it would be easier to just have one bolt pattern per model . Just think of how much of a moron you'd feel like if you had went ahead and gotten the wheels and then found out they wouldn't fit . Be glad you found out beforehand .If you're looking for winter steelies, Camry ones will fit, among others. I have 2007 Camry steelies for both mine and my mom's winter wheels. I got 4 on eBay, 3 on Craig's List and 1 from a local junkyard.Car-part.com is also a great resource.Also, check out this thread for more information on what wheels will fit, etc.

I used it and got 4 steel wheels for $200 including tax. They were dealer 'take-offs'. Somebody wanted fancier wheels on their Camry, so the dealer took these off and sold them some expensive ones.
