Im looking to keep the steel wheel look on my aveo i just want a larger wheel.. 16"/17"x7" wheels with a 4x100 pattern... the closest i could find were a set of 16" 09 sentra wheels but they have 4x114.3 pattern with mean i would need a lug conversion kit... any ideas??

i believe the 4 lug chevy cobalt comes with a 16" steel wheel.

i'm 99% sure it should work.

i already tried that... the 16" were the 5 lug model.. the 4x100 model are a 15"...

ah, ok..

what about mini cooper wheels? would need the center bores out a bit (could do it yourself carefully)..
or saturn?

i'm not sure about locating an oem in that size, but you could have your oem centers re barreled.

or diamond racing?

thing is, in those sizes, especially in a 17 the wheels would be VERY VERY heavy. might be better buying slots, or something in aluminum and painting them to look like steelies.

you always have the option of importing 16" audi winter wheels as well, but you could buy a lot of nice rims for that..

i would go with corrado steelies and 195/50r15 tires.

winter package for the cooper s had 16" steelies.


i think tirerack has them in early fall as well.. i forget which route my friend went.

where can i find a shop that rebarrels wheels? that was my first idea but i heard its almost impossible anymore to find a shop to do it in my area.

center caps for the stock wheels?? i would like to get some black ones that will fit the 14's if it came down to it.

center caps for steelies? i dont think you will find actual center caps..

if for aluminum, then measure the bore or the hole and go to ebay.

lewis welding will do them, they are local to me though. there are quite a few places the will do them, but you will most likely be shipping.

i am actually sending my wheels to weldcraftwheels.com for widening, going to 9" rears.
