It's all a matter of personal preference...But look at this site. See Different Wheels On Your VibeIt lets you see how different wheel styles look on your car...

5-spoke, or 10-spokes where 2-spokes are close together looking like 5-spokes. Like this:Speaking of wheels, I'm looking to buy a set of 16" rims for my factory tires. I'm looking at getting a set of either one of these Z24 wheels:Which do you think would look better on a Vibe? Personally, I'm leaning towards the first ones because I aluminum/painted wheels better than chrome.

I can swear I saw it somewhere, but I'm not positive -- isn't there a 3 spoke and 4 spoke style out there somewhere?

Yes, but they're ugly.

They are more grey in color normally.quote:Scott-----on the above pic (and I know its dated because you still have the stock hood) What happen to your other wheels (the 5 spoked ones) Just curious) JamesNothing, those wheels are 17" with summer tires. I use the factory 16" wheels/tires in the summer but I hate the factory hubcaps. I'd like a better set of wheels for next winter.

Hey there...I'm strongly considering a 5 spoke wheel. I think they look very nice though I have seen some on here with 10 or more. I just thnk the thinner spoked wheels look best overall. I'm looking into the Moda R6 (5 spoke) probably in an 18. I checked out some of the vehicles tirerack.com has pictured with those wheels on and I do believe it'll be a nice combo.Dave

(a cookie if you can name where this reference came from)I sorta agree but I'm hoping it's just the poor cropwork I did that makes it look bad. I'm sure it would look better in real life.

Personally I like the look of Chrome wheels- I almost went with a Hyper black wheel and a silver wheel but I ended up deciding on Chrome - too see what it looks like there is a link to my cardomain page in my signiture-

I too like the bling bling look on the darker colors (blue, shadow, and black).

I'm a fan of BBS-style rims myself. I'm gonna be going with a hyper black w/ machined lip. I also like them to have a deep lip. I'll most likely be going with 17's because I'm not certain my wife will be as careful as I am if I go with 18's. They look good, but you lose performance and ride quality. 17's should look perfect with the 2" drop and mono Abyss!
