Hi everyone. I know I don't meet the selling guidelines yet but I wanted to try and get the word out.My company is in the process of switching out our fleet of 2009 Vibe GTs from 18" wheels to 16" for economic and comfort reasons. The wheels have normal wear and tear and no major blemishes. I already have three sets in the warehouse and am holding off on doing the rest of the vehicles until I can start getting rid of some of these, but there are at least another 8-9 GTs to go.So we figured if we could get $75 per wheel (plus s&h) that would be enough for us. Can send pictures to anyone interested. Please email carmstrong@hbs.net or call Chris at 920-687-4768.Thanks!(or if anyone knows a place that buys these things that would be great!)
Dammmm ...... Where were you a month ago when I needed one to replace my damaged rim? I may inquire about a set to keep as spares for the future. Did these see any salt over the past two winters? Approximate mileage? How close are you to Madison Wi.?
Thanks everyone for the interest.To answer these questions. We're located outside Appleton, WI so yes, I would have to assume that they have seen salt these past two winters. They were given to employees to house so whether they were garaged or not I am entirely unsure. These vehicles have mileage in the realm of about 45-55k but again that's approximate.Here's a photo (can only attach one?) of the first set we took off. They still have the tires on them but the tread is down to nothing and I'll have them removed prior to shipping.Any more questions, please let me know.Thanks.
What is the weight per wheel? I estimated 25lbs each on my UPS account and got prices from $25-35 per wheel, depending on location shipped to (LA, Miami, NYC, Houston). Closer is cheaper, and you may have a better deal on your postal acount too.Wish these would fit our 06 Vibe. I really like how they look on my car.

I'm not sure on the weight, I guess we'd have to weigh them. My company is involved with manufacturing so we do have shipping accounts with FedEx, UPS and freight companies that might provide better rates. I will look into this and try and get estimates for different locations.So I did go and take a look at the second set of wheels that are off already. There does seem to be some "road rash" around the edges of the rims and also what appear to be half circle scuffs here and there throughout the sets. So I would confirm that these are not mint condition but would still look pretty good to anyone more than 2 ft. away. Not letting me attach another picture?
I'd be interested in a set of these if they're still available. Does anyone know if Pontiac changed the bolt pattern over the life of the car? I have a 2003 GT with 16" wheels. Maybe a trade would be in order since your changing to 16" wheels!
2003 Vibe GT/SatilliteBone stock but ready for MODS!!!

The 09-10 with the 2.4L motor have a 5x114 bolt pattern.
