What wheels are on this 09 1.8L?

Post by MB33 »

Hello, new member with a new 99 1.8L looking for something to replace the stock steelies. Was doing some googling and found this 09 that's being listed as a GT but is obviously a base model with different wheels. So far this is the closest wheel I've seen to the GT 18". Can anyone identify these? It looks OEM as opposed to aftermarket.

Those are OEM 17" 5x114 Vibe wheels that were optional on the 2.4L base model. You realize that the base Vibes came with both the 1.8L motor and the same 2.4L motor in the GT, and they have different bolt patterns based on the motor size. Those wheels will not fit directly, but there are some adapters if you wanted to use them. One member on here used them with some GT wheels on his base 1.8L Vibe. They do stick out a bit more than stock.

Any of the 03-08 wheels will fit on yours if you are interested in that style, but I do hear you on the 18" GT wheels. I really like them on my GT.

MOMO makes some similar-looking wheels that can come in 5x100mm bolt pattern.

I really want some, but recently had to take care of an emergency so that's now off the table.
