I know, I hate these kinds of posts too, but I'm in a bit of a time crunch and am looking for some fitment info. http://www.ebay.com/itm/390375...t_936These came up while searching Ebay for OEM wheels that will fit a first gen vibe. The listing states that they'll fit 03-08 Matrixes, just want to make sure a) that's accurate and b) that means that they'd also fit a first generation Vibe.16x6, offset is 45 if I'm reading that right? How would that sit on a stock Vibe? Thanks for any info. If anyone is running these (or a wheel with similar size/offset) feel free to post photos.

Yes, if those are first gen prius wheels they will fit on an 03/08 vibe according to this nifty website. I think a 45mm offset would be fine they might just look a bit recessed in the wheel wells. I believe 39mm is the offset of the stock vibe 03/08 16" wheels? They do look cool. The shipping for those wheels to where I live seemed a bit expensive tho. edit- link removed.
Thanks for the link. Yeah, the shipping on that Ebay listing is a little nutty (200+ bucks to ship four wheels/tires?) I do like the style of wheel, though, and I may check my local dealerships for any dealer take-offs. I'm bouncing back and forth between these, OEM Celica wheels and/or OEM Scion TC wheels. Both of my Vibes are in need of new wheels/tires (stock alloys are pretty curbed and corroded), looks like I'll be throwing down a big chunk of change in the next couple of days to outfit the kids with new shoes Anyone with some photoshop skills feeling frisky enough to chop these onto a 1st gen Vibe to see how they'd look?

Hey you may wanna disregard that link. According to 92blacktt who posted a thread thats a few links below this one on the tire page, the center bore of the wheel is actually 54.1. I guess its often mistakenly referred to as 57.1 at various online places for some reason. I'm not sure how they manage to mix these numbers up but I've edited the link out to cause no further confusion.I would think this would mean the prius wheels are actually 54.1mm as well but it would be good to make sure first.
