They kind of look like the matrix stock wheels:

...Although I guess the Mat's wheels are 6 spoke and yours are 5. Like them, though. I like them better than the vibe's! I have a problem with the vibe wheels. The spokes slant towards the back on the driver side and front on the passenger side. I have symmetry issues, everything needs to be symmetrical. I dig your new steel, buddy!

...and don't you hate the fact that we have to have an UGLY license plate in the front of our NJ cars! Ruins the whole front of a great looking car!

Me like :D!!!!!My wheels are based off that design, I believe. I have the EV-S in 17x8Great looking wheels the Evo/EV-S series are, I think the styling of them fits the Vibe best out of all the other wheels I have seen.Then again, I am a bit biased

I thought about getting those exact same wheels because they are the same wheels that are on the GXP version of the Vibe. Now I see Vibes with those quite a bit. I was thinking about getting Tenzo Apex 5 wheels but still searching for the "right" wheel. Yours look good though!!

I have the same wheels as well - I think the 5-spoke style looks great on the Vibe. So far I have not seen one with these wheels in person... yet. Either way I wouldn't mind because I like them so much.

Actually I do like the look of it. I might just break down and get those anyway. But I can only get those through tirerack.com What size are those anyway? I'm thinking about 18's, but with the way Michigan weather and roads are I may add, I may have to get 17's.

As long as you buy the "package" it includes wheels and tires for roughly about a grand. for the 17's anyway.

Very nice! They were my second choice. I think I've decided to go with a black ICW Racing 7-spoke. Should really "pick up" the black mirrors, trim and tint. Pictures soon.

quote:Raging once in a while i still see someone with the blue plates lol.Yes, because those people have not traded in their plates yet.If you trade in blue plates for a new registration, and don't just transfer the plates from one car to another, they won't reissue blue ones. If you just do a vehicle transfer, and never put those plates in the hands of the DMV, they are less likely to get revoked...
