Hi all,

Hawks, Ebay, Amazon. Quite a few out there in the $100 range for all four. You want 5 x 4.75 (5x120.65mm)

Look for people that sell them for BMW with the 120mm bolt pattern. The pattern on our cars is actually 4.76" diameter, commonly referred to as 4¾" as Shifty posted; 120mm is 4.72". The holes and studs are less than .020" off from ours, about the thickness of a business card, and usually will interchange. Keep in mind also, you don't want "spacers", which would be a block of metal with 5 holes in them; you should get something called "adapters", even though you're not "adapting" between 2 different sizes; those will have 5 holes for the existing wheel studs on the car's axles & hubs, and 5 studs for the wheels to bolt to.

As far as thickness, if you're putting on wheels from, or that are supposed to fit, Corvette or 4th gen Camaro/Firebird, they will need to be about 2" (50mm) thick.
