i am really loving the FORD FOCUS and SUBARU rims... Any chance they would fit a 1st Gen Vibe?

The Focus wheel lug pattern is 5x108, and will not fit the Vibe.

The Crosstrek rims are 17" 5x100 with a 45mm offset. I don't know how wide the wheel is, but judging by the tire width it's likely 7 inches.
The Stock Vibe rims are 17x7 5x100 with a 45mm offset.

The Subaru Hub bore is 56.1mm, Vibe Hub bore is 54.1. So the Subaru rims will fit your Vibe, but you will need to get lug nuts that have a cone seat bottom so the rim stays centered on the hub. Something like these

Thanks for the info he Jeremy !

I cropped some images up to get an idea of what the vibe might look like with those rims... What does everyone think?

Wow. I'd say those look pretty good on the Vibe!

I know right? It's a shame there is nothing quite like this in the aftermarket yet

Look at it this way, with those rims being standard on the XV Crosstrek, it will be easy to find a set that someone doesn't want. Just peruse the XV Crosstrek forum for a set that someone swapped with aftermarket wheels.

And those are just the first things I saw. Look around at them and see if there's a set you like well enough to buy!

Well searching online I keep coming up with sets of SCION rims..... pretty cheap too. I guess those SCION folks like upgrading those factory rims! But still I am not sure I like the look of them as much as the CROSSTREK Rims.... Still they are going for $350.00 for a set of 4 rims.
