If you are keeping the stock wheels, and not going with aftermarket 18's or something, keep it stock.Plain steelies look like you had a flat and are running on the doughnut, or you lost a hubcap and are too lazy to get a new one.I haven't seen an aftermarket hubcap that doesn't look like crap.

These wheels are for the beetle, but are 5x100 +42mm. They'd look hot on your car.

If you are going to stay stock size then just go with these:

And go cheap too!!! K-mart sells some awesome ones. LOLI would either just keep it stock or go all out and buy new everything. Just depends on if you want to drop $800 bucks or not. The wheel covers that they have that I have seen aren't worth putting on your ride in my opinion.

Get you some of these cheeseball chrome pseudo-Pontiac wheel covers like I have for my winter tires. Throw on some Grafxwerks wheel centers and you're in business. (removed)!

I say keep the black steelies but rig up some fake chrome caps from Wal-Mart for that "can't afford real bling" pimpin spinner look.Ok though seriously, keep the caps on those rims of your not going to change... steelies give that getto or ricer look without the caps.

i dunno, id just browse kmart/walmart and see. they have some that look pretty nice. (at least for hubcaps)obviously, if you had the moola laying around for rims, you wouldnt be asking this question, so i wont bother saying "get some 17"s! here look! these are only $900 plus tires!!"amazing though, all the people around here lately looking for the stock alloys, and i let mine go to some dude on MO.com when i got my new rims a while back.

If anyone wants my stock 16" alloys with RS=As, IM me and we'll work out a deal. It'll be cheap as I only need tires for the 17s that I bought...3 wheels are perfect and one has a 3-4" section that was curbed very lightly. I bought the car this way. Tires only have 9000 miles on them.
