2000 Buick Regal Rims....

[MZSEE8]

HI ALL

I WANT TO BUY RIMS, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA ON WHERE TO START. I KNOW I DONT WHAT TO PAY 1,000.00'S OF DOLLARS ON SOME. I SEE LOTS OF RIMS I LIKE EVERYDAY, BUT I DONT KNOW IF THEY WOULD GO ON MY CAR OR NOT, AND DO YOU BUY NEW TIRES WHEN YOU BUY THE RIMS ALSO?? IF ANYONE CAN TAKE A COUPLE OF SEC'S TO TELL ME WHERE THERE ARE SOME REASONABLE PRICED RIMS ONLINE, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. THX!!

THERE ARE RIM SHOPS IN MY AREA BUT I KNOW I CAN GET A WAY BETTER DEAL ONLINE AND IF I BUY ONLINE, THEY GIVE YOU DIFFERENT SIZES AND BASICALLY HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SIZE TO GET?

HAPPY V-DAY!!
THX AGAIN!

the bolt pattern on your ride is 5-115. I think the offset is something like 38-42 mm. Some folks say a bolt pattern of 5x114.3 will work I have never tried it and some folks report problems. Don't know what size you have in mind but rim width should be at a max 7.5". Tire sizing plays an important part in avoiding rubbing issues.

This site should help with your decision.
