Hi all, I was wondering "what other stock wheels would fit my Vibe" I saw a Pintiac Grand Prix yesterday with what looked like 17" (maybe 18")split 5 spoke factory wheels and thought they would look nice, i wonder if they'd fit.... And I think Colbalt SS wheels in the graphite would look good as well... There is a guy here at work with a Malibu wagon with Cobalt SS wheels and it looks KILLER... So, what other foactory wheels that you know of carry the same bolt pattern and center bore??

As you no doubt know, the Vibe is a NUMMI product with many shared Toyota components, so there aren't many GM wheels that would fit.16" and 17" Toyota Matrix wheels (with 5/100mm bolt pattern and 38mm offset) are directly interchangeable.In general, look for 16" or 17" wheels width up to about 7.5 inches, 5 lugs, 100mm bolt circle, and offset of 35-42mm. For aftermarket wheels,

Scion wheels seem to be the most popular for Trix owners. Those look hot on your Vibe btw!

The hub diameter is 54.1 and I believe the bore size is the same.I just put on some aftermarket rims and the hubcentric rings are 73mm x 54.10mm. The rim's bore size is 73mm.Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
