    didn't spend much time on this, and it isn't very good quality, but I hope you like it anyways.

    They both look great... So what do y'all think of the wheels on the car?? They're the closest to fitting... Offset is +48 for the AWD's +55

    They are almost exactly what I've been looking for, except for the faux bead-locker rivets (never cared for that look).

    Where'd you find them?

    I've only done a few picture edits, so I am still learning. I also have no schooling on doing this because I am only 14 years old.

    I guess the context wasn't know - otherwise, it's damn funny if I do say so myself.

    It's FROM Roxanne with Steve Martin.

    All 18's "for AWD" - 5x114.3, +48 mm offset (highest they have)

    Thanks for the link Fred, but I was afraid of that.

    I've exchanged a couple of emails with the people at BigWheels and discovered that they believe that the "5x114.3" bolt pattern will work every bit as well as the manufacturer's specced "5x115" pattern. Since they claim to have installed many wheels on LXs for the local dealerships, they may very well be right. I'm just not comfortable taking that kind of risk with my baby.

    I do like the way those look!

    Now I am not sure where I saw it, but remember seeing 5x4.5" for the bolt spacing which would convert to the 114.3 mm so now it's getting confusing...
