Hey/o/! Anyone can put aftermarket wheels/rims on their car.

Have you ever put wheels on your car from a different model of car? Whether it was from the same make as your vehicle, or a different model from an entirely different manufacturer (and you just punched out or customized the center caps). What worked, what didn't?

I rocked old BBS-style alloys originally from a Toyota Corolla on my old Mazda Protege. The center caps were non-branded, so that was a plus.

I got a set of BMW bottlecaps for my EG hatch. Would rather have basketweaves but for $60 you cant go wrong, they were cheaper than fucking steelies.

What was the original bolt pattern? Didn't those come with 12" tires from factory? Where the hell would one by 12" tires these days? Someone nearby me is still daily driving one of these relics on the original wheels it came with.

I want to put some aftermarket wheels on my car, but I guess the bolt pattern I have is pretty rare. I can't find any wheel I like with the correct bolt pattern.

I've tried...looking through my local used car parts place, I've tires the same size as I need, but they all come off something different (I have a 05 Silverado, and the ad would say something like off a 09 F150)...

I'm fucking tempted...just don't want to risk it...

What is the largest size you can go, on a tiny car like that?

Those wheels came on the 1988-1991 Toyota Corolla 2-door coupe (usually the SR5 package), and the Canadian-only 1990 Toyota Corolla 4-door sedan 25th Anniversary Edition.
