I need to get some summer wheels for my '99 9-5 on a GRM budget. It's currently rolling on 16's with Winterforces. 17's and 18's fill out the wheel wells substantially more, so I'm looking either. OEM wheels are 5x110 with ~40mm offset (there is a range of fitment that works, though). A lot of guys run "wobble bolts" to use 5x112 or 5x108 wheels, as well, so those would be suitable for the right price, but a set of 5x110 wheels would be great. To be honest, I'd love to hunt down an OEM set of Saturn Ion Redline wheels, they look great on the 9-5 and bolt right up...Cobalt SS wheels are nice too.
In reply to SlickDizzy:
Did you find some? I have some Modas that need a little work for a good price.
Edit: they are 17x7.5 5/110 moda radius R10.
How cheap are we talking? They wouldn't be my preference (not a fan of 7-spokes, and the weird screws on the outer rim are...interesting) but I'm on a budget and would probably take them for the right price.
Oh, $150 or so. The outer rim actually unscrews for cleaning or painting or whatever.

Slick, Call Subaru of Champaign, IL and ask for Gary P. Ask if they still have the 18x8's from the Saturn Sky still available, they were asking $80 but they might have been scrapped since then.
For Sale thread in another forum said:
Set of 18x8 Saturn Sky Wheels, silver painted finish. 5x110 bolt pattern. Have seen installed on other GM products with same bolt pattern but understand some applications may require spacers. Some minor cosmetic deficiencies, worst rim pictured below. At the reduced price we're netting ~$6 a wheel over scrap value! Won't fit your car? Use them to make some cool auto-art furniture (thanks for the idea, dnance!)
Set of 4 wheels: WAS $125, NOW $80 (scrap value is over $50!)
Actually, the easiest thing might be to register for the forum on Cicenet.net and PM "gary p".
