Hello all! Sorry that this is my first post but I'm searching for stock OEM 16" wheels that I can't put on my 2005 Vibe base. I have the steely rims now and they are atrocious looking. Ready to purchases when some are available! Thanks

FYI, first gens (2003-2008) only had 16s and 17s for OEM non-steel wheels ;).

Check out car-part.com.

Yeah I understand. 2009-up 18" should fit too right? Whatever I get I'm getting all new tires also. Just getting whatever is available that is used.

The 2009-10 18" wheels were only fitted to cars with the 2.4L engine, which have a different bolt pattern; 5x115 I think. Your car has 5x100.

I did not know it was a different bolt pattern. Thank you for the heads up! I'll edit the posting

Certainly try car-part.com . I've found several parts on there and helped another local member find a set of the 17" OEM wheels for his Vibe for about $200. I also found some on ebay for my son's car, but it took some time to find all 4 at a price I was willing to pay.

Good luck on the search and welcome to Genvibe! Come here often and see what all neat things you can do to your Vibe to make it yours!

Awesome! Thank you! I will check the site often. I procastinsted last month on some I found at a pull-a-part lot. Came back and they were gone. Thanks again for the advise.

That's one thing I found for sure. You have to jump on stuff at the pick & pull, or some other vulture will get it!
