Just a dumb girl here...

Just bought a 2.5 and looove it except that those hubs are so ridiculously ugly I can't stand it. I need real wheels asap. I read the thread at the top of the forums about which wheels will fit, but I didn't really understand much since this is all very new to me. I know I want to keep the same tires, so I really just want some wheels that I can pop on seamlessly without any problems and without having to think about it too much. Can someone link me to some wheels that will fit pretty please? Or at least let me know what size exactly I'm looking for and places to buy wheels. Sorry to be such a newb about this all...!!!

im pretty sure the tires are 215/60/16, so that means you are limited to 16" rims.

im not sure how the car would look with 16" aftermarket rims, but im sure if you find some 17-18" rims that you can find very affordable tires and have the tires mounted onto the rim and balanced and you should be good to go.

im sure if you have any misunderstandings with getting rims and tires, you have me and a whole community to help guide you through the painless process. it's very simple

so besides keeping the stock tires, did you have any other rim ideas in mind?

No, I don't really have any ideas of what I'm looking for specifically, I just know that this car is completely sexy and those ugly @$$ hubs just completely ruin it for me and I want to get rid of them asap. I'm not wanting to have to buy new tires because of the cost, plus then trying to have to find a buyer for the old ones. Where do you even BUY rims online? I've definitely never had to do this before....I previously had an '05 cobalt coupe that wasn't really worth the trouble...plus it had real wheels

So what are you trying to say when you mention "rear wheels"???

And http://www.elementwheels.com/ is good too, great deals.

She's probably just referring to 'real wheels' as in alloys with some type of style as opposed to hubcaps on steelies.

Whoops, I'm stupid, I saw "real" and thought "rear".
